TN State Champ Reed Loeffel - Wrestling Mindset Success Story

About this episode

Tennessee state champion Reed Loeffel shares his journey to winning his first state title with the help of Wrestling Mindset.

Gene Zannetti talks with Tennessee state champion Reed Loeffel about winning his first state title as a senior after joining Wrestling Mindset just two to three months before the tournament, how staying present and surrendering the outcome were the two biggest tools that kept him from choking on the biggest stage, pinning a two-time state champion in the finals who had beaten him twice during the season, and why even wrestlers who don't think they have a mindset problem can benefit from just having someone to talk to.
