Episode 11. NCAA Champion To UNC Associate Head Coach
The conversation
About Tony Ramos.
Tony Ramos sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 11, “NCAA Champion To UNC Associate Head Coach”.
Tony is the associate head coach of wrestling at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where he has coached since 2016.
He came to coaching right after his freestyle career. He reached the Olympic Trials finals in 2016 but lost, missing his shot at wrestling in Rio. He always knew coaching was next, and after talking with several programs, North Carolina felt like the best fit for him and his family.
He talks about what really lasts after the trophies rust, how losses drove him to work harder, and how he teaches athletes to fight without fear.
