Wrestling the Right Way | Joey Blaze

Gene Zannetti talks with Purdue wrestler Joey Blaze about the mindset shift from freshman year, where he put unneeded pressure on himself as a higher-ranking recruit, to reframing wrestling as something he gets to do rather than has to do, staying level-headed after big wins to avoid the high that leads to the very next loss, how shifting his match evaluation from win or lose to did I do the right things keeps him from going too high or too low, what he says to reset mid-match when things go wrong, and his advice to young wrestlers that being a good person in all areas of life takes the stress off wrestling and lets you actually enjoy it.Sponsored by Young LeeTimestamps:3:08 - Freshman year overthought things as a higher-ranking recruit4:29 - Shifted to gratitude: I get to do this, not I have to do this6:09 - Learned to stay level-headed after big wins to avoid the next low7:52 - Evaluates matches on did I do the right things, not win or lose9:00 - Pre-match routine: remind yourself how awesome this is, then go through the checklist11:37 - Mid-match reset: if he can score seven points fast, so can I14:01 - Marcus as the ultra-competitor big brother — healthy rivalry that fueled both of them22:11 - Advice to young wrestlers: be a good human and wrestling takes care of itself🎯 This episode is sponsored by:🥗 Eat Clean Bro – eatcleanbro.comUse code MINDSET for 15% off your order💪 Champion Athletes Sports Nutrition – champion-athletes.comUse code MINDSET25 for a special discountPlease LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and go through the archives to hear more great episodes.If you want to support the podcast, please leave a 5-star rating & review on Apple Podcasts.For all partnership and sponsorship inquiries, email [email protected]🎙Stay connected with Wrestling Mindset🔗 Visit our website: https://www.wrestlingmindset.com/📞 Book a free consultation: https://www.wrestlingmindset.com/1-on-1-coaching/Wrestling Mindset Social MediaInstagram: / wrestlingmindsetFacebook: / wrestlingmindsetTwitter: / wrestlingmindse🎧 Listen to our podcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/65xcqo9ZdPY36HeQOltPUI Hosted on Acast.
