EPISODE 32 / BOB BERGMAN... BEYOND THE MAT, LEADING YOUNG MEN

My guest today is Coach Bob Bergman, architect of one of the very elite high school wrestling programs in the state of Ohio. Bob just completed his 16th season as head coach. His teams have won 4 state titles in Ohio, 11 league titles and 386 dual meets. He has led his individual wrestlers to 69 league championships. He's had 54 state qualifiers, 34 state placers, and 16 state champs. Ingrained in all those championships is a story of a coach and a program that develops, not just great wrestlers, but great competitors and great young men. Sit down and hold on, because when Bob starts talking about his wrestlers, his coaches and his family, he's off to the races with his drive and passion. He's a student of the sport and also a student of people and the process that goes into leading young boys toward becoming young men. My goal was to try to get Bobby to paint a picture of what truly is involved putting together and sustaining an elite top level program. He was really good doing this, but it wasn't easy for him. It is incredibly hard for him to use the words "I" and "me".  He's more at ease using the words "we" and "us".
