Nick Lee on Coaching at Penn State, Final X, and College vs. International Wrestling |N&D 81|
Saturday, 21 June, 2025

In this episode of Nickals and Dimes, Bo and Tony sit down with NCAA champ and Penn State legend Nick Lee for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond wrestling. They dive into Nick’s experience growing up homeschooled for a couple years, his views on the education system, and how that shaped his wrestling journey. They also explore Nick’s Christian faith, how it’s impacted his life on and off the mat, and what his transition has been like moving from athlete to coach. Of course, Bo tries to pry a few Penn State “secrets” out of him — and the stories don’t disappoint. The conversation wraps up with memories from college, reflections on growing up, and a breakdown of this year’s Final X.
