In this episode of the Wrestling Mindset Podcast, Gene Zannetti talks with Pennsylvania state champion Chase Karenbauer about his journey from third place as a freshman to winning the state title as a sophomore, how consistent mindset training helped him internalize confidence and focus on his own attack rather than his opponent’s, and why he visualized the state finals match for weeks before it happened.
