In this episode, we sit down with Maumee wrestling head coach Pete Schlegel to reflect on his first year leading a program that means more to him than just wins and losses.

Pete talks about what it’s been like stepping into the head coaching role after years of success in the Maumee wrestling room as an athlete, and how that history shapes the way he leads today. We dive into his coaching philosophy, the challenges and rewards of taking over a program with high expectations, and how he balances tradition with building his own identity as a head coach.

From developing relationships with his athletes to setting long-term goals for the program, Pete shares what drives him—and where he wants Maumee wrestling to go next.
