Topical thought. It’s awesome that college athletes can earn fair market value/drive income during the highest earning potential period of their careers via NIL. Only the 1% elite can truly make a living off their sport post college. Those opportunities won’t always be there.

🛫🔜 Istanbul

Full US delegation here with schedule, links to broadcast, results, preliminary entries. #WrestleIstanbul

Jordyn Raney had a week. Six wins in Greco, seven wins in freestyle. Tech’d every opponent he wrestled without giving up a point until he faced his brother Jayden in the freestyle best-of-three series. Made the U17 World Team in both styles. Dawg.

I put up a ton of photos from Vegas if you’re into that sort of thing. rimmelpics.com/USA-Wrestling/…

That’s a wrap on Trials + Vegas. I will be sleeping for approximately the next 72-120 hours to prepare for Istanbul.

I regret posting about the cheap refills now. Didn’t know my reach was so powerful. Starbucks

PSA the South Point Starbucks has 54-cent refills. Especially helpful for those of you doing the Olympic Trials + US Open double header.

Take notes, Richard Immel & Cody Goodwin from USA Wrestling take you on a in depth look on what to expect for on day 1 of the Olympic Team Trials! 📝

I spent the first part of my career looking for a coach to give me ALL the answers. The 2nd half discovered I am my best coach. And now I teach athletes to create those lightbulb 💡 moments for themselves! 4 weeks to upgrade your mental tools ⚒️ SIGN UP: bit.ly/cvlucha

In search of a dedicated volunteer to operate a 24/7 coffee IV drip for me this Thurs., Fri., and Sat.

Pros: you get to stand next to me all day at Olympic Trials.

Cons: you have to stand next to me all day at Olympic Trials.

Any takers?

Imagine a world where a wrestler is up by a score in the Olympic Trials finals with 30 seconds left, and instead of running to the out-of-bounds line, they walk to center mat and say let’s scrap here to decide this. Then they blast double the other guy for 4 to make the team. 💥

It was so much fun to scrap against some legends in the Last Chance Qualifier. Amazing experience, memories, & lessons. I will be ready for the US Open in three weeks and U20 Trials. 🔒💣🌏 RUDIS
