Canadian welder Korey Jarvis is the epitome of a blue-collar wrestler - ST228

We go back north of the border and visit with Canadian heavyweight Korey Jarvis on Episode 228 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Yes, our obsession with our wrestling neighbors to the north continues with Jarvis' story in trying to find time to chase his Olympic dream. A native of Elliot Lake, Ontario (we had to look it up, too), Jarvis explained his rocky wrestling road to the Univesity of Guelph and then his time as a welder. Yes, Jarvis is a welder by trade and balances work, training and a family, all while finding various ways to financially support the dream. Jarvis breaks down his typical week and compares and contrasts how his life is in relation to his American contemporaries.
