Episode 5. 4x Ohio State Champion Wrestler & Club Builder
The conversation
About Collin Palmer.
Collin Palmer sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 5, “4x Ohio State Champion Wrestler & Club Builder”.
Collin started wrestling at five years old at the Strongsville YMCA, after his parents put him in wrestling while his brother did karate. Within a few years he was competing on the Tulsa national circuit.
He went on to St. Edward High School and Ohio State, and then started his own wrestling club, where he now coaches young athletes.
He talks about learning that coaching kids exactly the way he was coached does not work, and why young athletes need parents to be parents and coaches to be coaches.
“I started when I was five years old”
