In this episode of the Wrestling Mindset Podcast, Gene Zannetti talks with New Jersey state champion Greyson Pettit about his journey from freshman to state champion at 132 pounds, how cutting too much weight his sophomore and junior years made him hate the sport and derailed his postseason, why moving up to a weight where he felt strong changed everything, the recurring dream he had three times before winning states as a 21 seed, and how he developed his own reset button using three deep breaths to stay calm between every break in the action.
