    S2E11: "I Like To Make Negative Energy Into Power"

    For this episode of We Are EG, I talked with Tuvshin Zuunbayan, an Elk Grove Sophomore whose love for wrestling has already carried him to tournaments around the world to places such as Mongolia and Japan.

    Tuvshin and I sat down to talk about his experiences growing up in a wrestling family, learning to pave his own path, and joining the EGHS Wrestling Team this year for the first time. Throughout our conversation I learned a lot about the physical and mental demands of the sport, as well as how Tuvshin has learned to channel his emotions into competition.

Well Worth a Listen

The We Are EG podcast, created by the CollabLab at Elk Grove High School, shares fascinating stories of the students and staff of a diverse high school in the Chicago suburbs. It has helped me, a staff member, better understand and appreciate our students, my colleagues, and just what makes EGHS such a special school that is working hard to meet the needs of our community.
