On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Olympian, 9X U.S. National Champion, 3X World Medalist, and BJJ Purple Belt Jake Herbert. Jake is a husband, father of four, and business coach.

Jake discusses his start in wrestling, how he got his kids to start training in grappling, pros and cons of specialization vs training in multiple sports, "living through your kids,” starting BJJ, the importance of camaraderie, how his training has changed as he has gotten older, training for longevity, making the decision to retire from wrestling, how finding religion was impactful for Jake, the importance of having a "white belt mentality," the importance of drilling and positional sparring for skill-development, and how to work with Jake for business coaching.
