Ep.77 | In this episode, Kalli sits down with her long-time wrestling coach Russell Fersch to talk about coaching, retirement transitions, athlete development and how to tackle your mental mindset on the mat and in life.
Russell Fersch is a seven time Saskatchewan wrestling coach of the year. He recently just celebrated 25 years as a coach and he’s ticked all the big boxes — Team Saskatchewan at the Western Canada Summer Games, The Canada Summer Games, a Team Canada apprentice coach for the U17 Pan American Championships and so much more. The now 48-year-old has also sat on many professional boards and is a grain farmer, something he’s been doing since he was in Grade 12.
