Talking Wrestling with Tyler Clark
Tyler is from Orion, Illinois and was a 3x state finalist for the Chargers, winning a state title as a sophomore. As a senior, Tyler moved to Bettendorf, Iowa and was a state runner-up for Head Coach Dan Knight. Tyler continued wrestling for Iowa State, where he was a 2x national qualifier. He then transferred to arch-rival Iowa and graduated as a Hawkeye. He was inducted into the Orion High School Hall of Fame in 2018. So, Tyler competed at both Illinois and Iowa High School state wrestling tournaments and wrestled for both Cael Sanderson and Tom Brands. Quite the interesting story lies ahead! So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Tyler Clark!

Talking Olympic Trials with Duane Richardson
A couple weeks ago, the 2024 Olympic Trials took place in State College, Pennsylvania. There was a lot to unpack from all the action, both good and bad. So, I enlisted the help of my friend and former teammate Duane Richardson to come on the podcast and talk about it all.

Talking Wrestling with Kourtney Hardy
Behind all these great athletes we love and cheer for is an even greater support system. Kourtney Hardy is a perfect example of this. She is the wife of 2x AA and current Husker wrestler Brock Hardy. Kourtney grew up literally down the street from Brock in Brigham City, Utah. She’s currently taking classes online at Southern Utah University and lives in Lincoln. In this episode, Kourtney talks about how she handles being the wife of a wrestler in the spotlight. She talks about what it was like to uproot herself from Utah and move to Lincoln and how she, herself, stays strong. Kourtney has started a little business called My Everlasting Flower, where she turns flowers into lasting memories. You can find more information on instagram at myeverlastingflower (all one word) or myeverlastingflower.com. Both links can be found in the show notes. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Kourtney Hardy!

Talking Wrestling with Head Coach Brett Wheelan
Brett is from Manchester, Iowa and wrestled for West Delaware. Unfortunately, injuries cut his career short. But Brett just couldn’t get away from wrestling. He’s been involved at the coaching level, holding roles at Waterloo West, Waverly Shell-Rock and Loras, to name a few. Currently, Brett is the head coach at West Des Moines Valley and guided them to a 15th place finish at state this year, which included a state finalist. In the show notes you’ll see a link to Pay It FOREward Connolly, a non-profit organization that serves to financially aid persons with disabilities and their families. The organization was founded in memory of Andrew Connolly, a good friend of Brett Wheelan. Again, the link to the organization can be found in the show notes. If you know someone who could benefit from this amazing organization or if you simply want to know how you can help, all the information is found through that link. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Coach Brett Wheelan!

Customer Reviews
Let’s Talk Wrestling
It has been great listening to these stories! Wrestling is such a unique sport and one doesn’t need to have reached the highest levels or awards for it to have an immense affect on their lives. It’s been a lot of fun hearing the successes, the struggles, and relationships that wrestling has helped build.
SO GOOD!!
I can’t wait for each new episode. It feels like I’m listening to two friends catch up — I get to learn about each wrestler in such depth. After listening, I want to root for each one of them because I feel like I’m friends with them too!
