In episode 084 of the Athletor Podcast, we sit down with Alex Clemsen, head coach of the University of Maryland wrestling program. Coach Clemsen shares insights into the challenges and rewards of running a college wrestling program, including the critical role of fundraising and how he manages his team alongside assistant coach Nick Brascetta. We also discuss the impact of recent scoring rule changes on Maryland's season, as well as the age-old topic of weight cutting—how it's handled in his program and its effect on performance.
