Mitch Peyton emulated the wrestlers from West Delaware High School from a very early age, and he knew exactly who he wanted to be when he grew up. The ferocious type of wrestler Mitch wanted to become was only matched by a chivalrous attitude off of the mat and away from the intense competition. Hear how Mitchโs wrestling legacy almost ended after high school, until a simple question from legendary two-time NCAA national champion, world gold medalist, and Olympic gold medalist, Dan Gable persuaded Mitch to attend the University of Iowa to pursue a career in a black and gold singlet.ย Life in the sport of wrestling didnโt close with a picture-perfect fairytale ending, but the lessons learned and growth received from his journey propelled Mitch, giving him the confidence to chase any dream.ย Find out how Mitch used that confidence and turned his experience into a new venture wherein children not raised on a farm can have the experience of owning and showing cattle via his Legacy Cattle Company. Peyton, who is now an assistant wrestling coach at West Delaware, suggests there are analogies between the sport of wrestling and showing cattle; moreover, he suggests that these similarities have tremendous value for young people.
