I got a chance to talk with Mizzou’s assistant wrestling coaches on coaching and competing at the upcoming US Open
Wrestling is one of the unique sports that often sees assistant coaches stay active in competition while coaching. Oftentimes, coaches graduate and begin to wrestle more on the international scene, competing in overseas tournaments, Worlds, and even the Olympics. Mizzou is lucky enough to have two coaches who are well established in the international scene— Dom Bradley and Kendric Maple.
I sat down with each of them to ask a few questions before they compete in the US Open this weekend.
