The Spaniard Show

It's striking to hear Kerry McCoy look back at his first year in college wrestling and say he was worst guy on the team and couldn't keep up. And yes, he did go 19-17. But the rest of his career, he lost only one match. Then came two NCAA championships, two Olympic teams, a Pan-American Games gold medal and much more. You'll hear Kerry break down that turnaround, share how he's built his coaching...

No state has high school wrestling more competitive than Pennsylvania's, yet Spencer Lee had a perfect record all four years--until his final match in his final state tournament. His classmates were astounded. And you will be astounded by how easily he discusses that loss in this episode. That's because he never pursued titles anyway--only getting the most from himself. This is a fascinating conve...

No recording by The Spaniard has included more laughter than this one. His camaraderie with Chris Spealler goes back to their being college wrestling teammates. They ran parallel tracks back then and later, when each followed a continuing hunger for competition. For Chris, this meant throwing down in the very first national CrossFit Games, and eventually six more. He and a partner opened the first...
