Gene Zannetti talks with NCAA champion Nico Megaludis and his father Dan about their father-son wrestling journey, how Dan coached Nico without destroying their relationship, the importance of scheduling feedback instead of coaching in the hurricane of emotion after matches, why Dan never yelled at Nico in the hallways, how faith helped Nico finally win his national title as a senior, and the parallel between creating wealth and playing offense while protecting it is playing defense.
