Episode 25. Five-Time Fargo Finalist & NCAA Finalist
The conversation
About Josh Kindig.
Josh Kindig sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 25, “Five-Time Fargo Finalist & NCAA Finalist”.
Josh started wrestling in kindergarten. He grew up in the heart of Pennsylvania wrestling, competing against names like Jordan Oliver at some of the toughest youth tournaments in the country.
He became a five-time Fargo finalist, wrestling through bronchitis, mono and hard weight cuts. He carried that grit to Oklahoma State, where he became an NCAA finalist while fighting through injuries most people never knew about.
Now Josh coaches kids, teaching them to believe in themselves, fight back when things get hard, and understand the mental side of wrestling.
