Episode 23 - Tylene 'Ty' Tran
from The Caution Stalling Podcast
Gold Rush’s 5-foot heavyweight champ of the world, Tylene Tran, joins the Caution Stalling Podcast. Tylene shares how she traded the cheer platform for the wrestling mat during Covid, a move inspired by watching her brother’s practices. What started as curiosity quickly turned into passion, as the pandemic opened the door for her to step into the sport and change her life forever. Tylene reflects on the life lessons wrestling has given her, from coaching the Little Miners to working with the Discovery 1 class. Though coaching brought challenges, it also deepened her understanding of the sport by forcing her to teach it. Beyond giving back, wrestling has reshaped her mindset—teaching her how to handle pressure and grow stronger mentally. With her successes, Tylene has also grown in her faith, embracing patience and trusting the long game of her career. She stays focused on her potential while leaning on the coaches who always have her back in the corner. Tylene shares deep gratitude for Gold Rush—the coaching staff, the culture, and her teammates—for shaping her journey. Through her words, it’s clear just how important the Gold Rush family is to one of Nevada’s top women wrestlers. Her bond with the program is unbreakable, and she hopes to one day return to coach the next generation of girls in the very place she calls home.
