About this episode
Pumped to have coach Izzy Martinez on the show for episode 24. I got a lot of good feedback on the Chris Bono episode and to play off of that, I wanted to bring another high-level coach with value & entertainment on the show! Before he was coaching Jon Jones & Holly Holm to championships in the UFC Octagon, and coaching a top 10 high school program, Izzy was an elite-level youth & amateur wrestler and also had his fair shares and ups and downs. Today, we dive into the Izzy Story! Rough Order of Topics: - Izzy as a Wrestler - Not Making it in Iowa City - Being A “18-22-Year-old Trainwreck” - What Early Failure Taught - The Transition from Athlete to Coaching - Chasing Opportunity - Entering MMA - Self Awareness - Mental Health - Social Media Wanna support the podcast?
