In this episode, we sit down with Trent “Hoagie” Hidlay, a 5x NCAA All-American, 2x NCAA Finalist, and 4x ACC Champion, to dive into his journey through wrestling, mindset, and training. Trent shares how he almost walked away from the sport before fully committing, the pivotal text from his brother Hayden that changed everything, and what it was like following him to NC State. We also cover the mental side of competing as a freshman NCAA finalist, his approach to strength training, recovery, and diet, as well as the differences between college and senior-level wrestling. Plus, we get into his academic success, the legendary #B2W mindset, and whether we’ll see him and Hayden face off again at Wrangle in the Wild. Get ready for a mix of elite wrestling insights and behind-the-scenes stories—plus, we settle the debate on whether Trent really is the worst Mafia player of all time!
