Grant Leeth | Making Wrestling Bigger in Texas

from The Wade Burgess Podcast · host Wade Burgess

Everything is bigger in Texas. The state that was once its own country is known for creating big results in business, sports, and politics. It may surprise you that it lacks a NCAA Division I program for the world's oldest sport: wrestling. In this episode of the Wade Burgess Podcast, Wade sits down with Grant Leeth, Tarleton State University Head Wrestling Coach, assigned with the task of starting an NCAA Division I wrestling program in Texas. As one of the best wrestlers of his generation, Grant recognizes this opportunity and is all-in on introducing this great sport to this great state. Grant and Wade delve into Grant's personal story of achievement and disappointment, which so closely mirrors life's everyday struggles. His experiences have given him the courage and inspiration to lead a state, a sport, and, most importantly, young athletes with a dream into uncharted territories.
