Nick Mitchell has built what he calls a Championship Lifestyle
at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. On Episode 57 of the
World Wrestling Resource Podcast, we talk with the Wartburg alum
who has led the Vikings to six NCAA Division III championships in a
row and seven National Duals titles in a row. As the program nears
the end of its 10th year in existence, what's been the secret sauce
that's helped his team win?
An Iowa native, Mitchell never won a state championship or Division
III title, but was part of Wartburg's 1999 NCAA Division III
Championship team and learned under coach Jim Miller. Mitchell
explains the struggles in the early years to find the right blend
of athlete to thrive in a place that'd never had wrestling.
While transfers are regular, Mitchell explains his theory and
philosophy on giving kids second chances and what he's learned from
the process, both on the good and bad side of it.

and coaches from all levels and information about the products can
