CrankMat Podcast EP. 10: Davis Motyka- UPENN Wrestling NCAA D1 Qualifier
In this episode, Ryan Hayes sits down with Davis Motyka to discuss his incredible journey through the sport of wrestling.
From struggling to find success early in his career and battling the challenges of being undersized in high school to becoming a two-time Prep National Champion at Wyoming Seminary and an NCAA qualifier at the University of Pennsylvania, Davis shares the adversity, hard work, and perseverance that shaped him into the wrestler and person he is today.
Davis opens up about the mental side of wrestling, overcoming pre-match nerves, dealing with setbacks, and learning to believe in himself even when things weren't going his way.
Now, he's using those experiences to give back to the next generation of wrestlers through Mat Mentors, a business he co-founded to help athletes strengthen their mental approach, build confidence, and navigate the challenges of the sport.
This is a conversation about resilience, mindset, faith, and never giving up on yourself, even when the odds are stacked against you.
