It’s Izzy Style! This is the Israel Martinez Story | Ep. 24 BASCHAMANIA

    • Wrestling

Pumped to have coach Izzy Martinez on the show for episode 24. I got a lot of good feedback on the Chris Bono episode and to play off of that, I wanted to bring another high-level coach with value & entertainment on the show! Before he was coaching Jon Jones & Holly Holm to championships in the UFC Octagon, and coaching a top 10 high school program, Izzy was an elite-level youth & amateur wrestler and also had his fair shares and ups and downs. Today, we dive into the Izzy Story!

Rough Order of Topics:

- Izzy as a Wrestler
- Not Making it in Iowa City
- Being A “18-22-Year-old Trainwreck”
- What Early Failure Taught
- The Transition from Athlete to Coaching
- Chasing Opportunity
- Entering MMA
- Self Awareness
- Mental Health
- Social Media
