Exclusive Interview with Zaurbek Sidakov

Special Episode Alert:

Wrestling Mindset founder Gene Zannetti sits down for an exclusive interview with Olympic Gold Medalist and 3x World Champion Zaurbek Sidakov. Together, they discuss how Russia managed to standardize practice routines across the country; even though this may have hurt innovative practice methods, it set values and goals for all to aspire to and strive for. They also talked about the difference between static stretching and dynamic warmups and how warning up is a part of the workout and not just something we have to do. And how giving your absolute best in any practice or match can help build your confidence more.
