I interviewed my own replacement. 😅

When I stepped away from coaching North Bay Haven wrestling, Zach Deaton was one of the first people I called — and a few weeks later he's got the job. So yeah, this got a little personal.

In this episode Zach opens up about leaving Bay High after nearly a decade, what drew him to North Bay Haven, and how he plans to build something special with the Bucs. We also get into his coaching philosophy, his thoughts on youth wrestling and burnout, and what he believes really sits at the foundation of a winning program.

If you follow wrestling in North Florida, you don't want to miss this one.

One of the most electric wrestlers in the North Florida area, Dominik is known for his cat like reflexes and lightning like agility that makes him dangerous from anywhere.

Couple that with a team full of hardworkers committed to the same goal day in and day out, then you have a wrestler that evolves faster than most of the competition can keep pace.

Make sure to keep an eye on King Dominik as we may well be in for a long reign!

Summary

They highlight standout wrestlers from the events, including Kolt Palmer who went undefeated and Joseph Steppian who turned down the opportunity to trade for a belt and wanted to earn it. They also discuss the importance of introducing freestyle wrestling in the area and the potential for a North Florida All-Star team for high school wrestlers. The conversation ends with a mention of the upcoming Freestyle States tournament.

This first one is near and dear to my heart. I am an avid journaler, as is my Wife. We start every day with ours without fail. I know that I wish I would have done this earlier. I truly believe I would have been ten times the wrestler, with half as much work. I highly suggest you use one for your wrestling, and every day life. If you need help getting one together, or just want ideas forming it, please reach out to me. I would be glad to help you construct trusty weapon in the war that is Goal Getting!
