Warner, founder of Wrestling Changed My Life, chronicles Cejudo’s run to the 2008 Olympic gold in Beijing and what went behind his then-unlikely chance to become a guinea pig for USA Wrestling.

Today, Short Time is a personal interview with someone you’ve never previously heard from, unless you happened to listen to a Hampton-based sports talk show called Contact Sports 20-something years ago. Few people had an impact on my life in sports more than Terry Daniels. Terry isn’t family, but he pretty much has been a part of it for the last 20 years. When I was in high school, Terry asked one day if I wanted to go to the wrestling match on a Wednesday in January of 1995. Some of you have heard me tell this story. Today on Short Time, you get to hear it from the man himself. A longtime resident of Poquoson, Virginia, Terry’s been a sports junkie for most of his life. His enjoyment of high school sports and local sports rubbed off an another sports junkie who loved high school sports and local sports in 1995, me. With a long career so far in wrestling and a new segment starting in hockey, Terry has the unique distinction of being the individual who introduced me to both of them. The first dual against De

Wrestling coach, professor and English teacher Keith Manos joins Short Time to talk about some of the things he’s learned about coaching over the years and how he crafted them into books to help teachers and coaches alike. A member of the Ohio Wrestling Hall of Fame, Manos’ Wrestling Coach’s Survival Guide has been around for almost 30 years and was even used by John Smith when teaching a course on wrestling. Manos looks back at his time in the classroom and the wrestling room and outlines things that still play today when it comes to being not just a good coach, but a relatable one. He’s big on relationships and we’ll see why.Check out Keith’s books and his background at KeithManos.com and on Twitter @KeithManos.

Rometo “Rummy” Macias wrestled at the University of Iowa in the 1940s. A two-time Big Ten champion, Macias finished second at the 1948 NCAA championships before starting the first wrestling team at what’s now known as Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minnesota. The Minnesota State family celebrated Macias’ birthday on October 17 as the diminutive dynamo celebrated his 100th trip around the sun. In attendance were Mavericks friends, fans and alumni and a number of his former wrestlers. This episode showcases the impact Macias had on the sport of wrestling, not just from a coaching perspective, but from a growth perspective as prior to Macias’ arrival in Minnesota, just over 30 high schools sponsored the sport. It wasn’t long after that over 300 sponsored it. Macias started the program at then Mankato State Teachers College in 1950 and coached there until 1988. He’s one of three coaches in program history. You’ll hear from former athletes and friends as well as current head coach Jim Makovsky and Macias h

It’s wrestling media day for Appalachian State wrestling, so we jumped on in and ended up creating a full episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast for it. Outside of the Hand Raised blog’s Ted Carreras, it was pretty much just me, coach JohnMark Bentley and four App State wrestlers ready for another run at the season. Before we get to the show, I touched on the news that TheMat Forums would be shutting down on October 31. I had a love-hate relationship with them. I’ll go into that, some news about what I’m now opening up for free via the Mat Talk Almanac and how you can contribute.

Longtime Rider wrestling coach Gary Taylor passed away last month. After 39 years at the helm, he handed the keys to the Rider program to his longtime assistant coach John Hangey. On today’s episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we’ll talk with John Hangey as he enters his sixth year as the head coach at Rider. He’ll touch on his career and how he ended up at Rider, how he came back to Rider after serving as the head coach at Bucknell in the late 90s and what legacy Coach Taylor will leave on this world and in the world of wrestling. It’s notable as well that Rider wrestling received a half-million dollar donation from the Morrison family this week, laying the groundwork for a new wrestling practice facility, one that will bear Gary Taylor’s name. Five Morrisons have wrestled at Rider, including All-American Tim Morrison’s three sons - T.J., Rob and Clint.

In 2002, USA Wrestling launched the first Junior Women’s Freestyle National Championships and the tournament joined the four men’s divisions in Fargo, North Dakota. The fifth tournament in Fargo would feature just over 100 young women. One of those first champions was Michigan’s Brandy Green, who then was known as Brandy Rosenbrock. Green was one of the first two women to ever win multiple titles in Fargo, joining Oregon’s Samantha Lang as two-timers with their championships in 2003. Green also competed at the 2004 Olympic Team Trials as part of the first group of women who wrestled for a chance to represent the U.S. at the Olympic Games. Now currently the head women’s coach at Limestone University in Gaffney, South Carolina, Green looks back on what the experience meant for her and what her experiences have done to help her train and coach the next generation of wrestlers as they compete on the mats in Fargo and have actual bonafide college wrestling opportunities where they were few and far between when Gre

In 2002, USA Wrestling launched the first Junior Women’s Freestyle National Championships and the tournament joined the four men’s divisions in Fargo, North Dakota. The fifth tournament in Fargo would feature just over 100 young women. One of those first champions was California’s Malinda Ripley. Twenty years later, you’ll still find Ripley on the floor in Fargo, coaching the women of Team California. In July of 2022, I caught up with Ripley to talk about what she remembers about the opportunity presented at that first championship, her drive to go “big game hunting” in chasing down Mary Kelly of Illinois and what it’s meant to her to coach a generation of girls who didn’t have to break down doors, rather just walk through them as they were opened by people like Ripley. This is the full interview from the women’s feature released by Mat Talk Online during Fargo back in July.
