Olympian Andy Hrovat and renowned high school wrestling coach
Mike Powell address distractions on Episode 22 of the World
Wrestling Resource Podcast with host Jason Bryant.
Hrovat was a three-time All-American at Michigan while Powell was
an All-American as a freshman at Indiana. Hrovat avoided negative
distractions that often follow college life, but Powell didn't and
it ultimately led to him not getting back on the podium.
The two offer their perspectives on avoiding damaging distractions
like partying, drinking and drug use, with Powell, it's something
he lived through and now shares his own story to prevent his
wrestlers at Illinois powerhouse Oak Park and River Forest High
School from making the same mistakes.
Distractions aren't always limited to the use of alcohol or
recreational drugs. Sometimes negative distractions can come from
technology, smart phones and social media. Both offer their
perspectives on dealing with different age groups and how to work
through those challenges.
