Joining Steve Foster and Jeff Murphy this week-
9:05 Matt Valenti- New Assistant Head Coach at Columbia-What was your weight class?
125 lbs for 2 years; 133 for 2 years (won two NCAA championships at 133) Why did you
want to become a wrestler? My Dad was a wrestler and my coach from the day I started
walking. The most difficult thing about wrestling is: Believing in your heart that you are
better than the guy who is across the mat from you. Many can believe it in their heads,
but few believe it in their hearts. Why do you like coaching with Coach Buckley?
He’s very open to the different styles of wrestling. Every wrestler is different and unique in
his own way. Coach Buckley allows each guy to embrace that and work with his strengths.
