Episode description as stored

Shane Sparks was this week’s guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is an award-winning broadcaster who is the play-by-voice of college wrestling on the Big Ten Network. In addition, he is the voice of Real American Freestyle (RAF), which brings wrestling to a pro stage and broadcasts on FOX Nation. We talked about how he got interested in broadcasting, his wrestling career, the value of testing yourself against difficult competition, the importance of emotional intelligence in sports, and his thoughts on who should be on the Mount Rushmore of college wrestling. In addition, we discussed the one thing he would fix about college wrestling, NIL and the transfer portal, the dangers of cutting weight too quickly, and who could challenge Penn State’s dominance of the sport in the near future. Finally, we discussed the excitement around Real American Freestyle and how it will help grow the sport of wrestling, what game day looks like for him as a broadcaster, and the best advice he has for those who want to pursue a career in broadcasting.
