Episode 270 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with the
new head wrestling coach at CSU Bakersfield, Manny Rivera.
After an All-American career at the University of Minnesota, Rivera
spent time at the University of Virginia and North Dakota State
before taking the reigns of the Roadrunner program in his native
California.
Rivera first broke on to the national scene as a senior in high
school, winning the 2003 NHSCA Senior Nationals. He was only third
in the state of California his senior year, but avenged a semifinal
loss to Gabe Flores and beat eventual teammate Mack Reiter along
the way.
Rivera talks about adapting to college wrestling, evolving as a
coach and why he's ready to lead the Roadrunner program. He also
gives his thoughts on what he's learned from friend and former
teammate Roger Kish at North Dakota State, Steve Garland at U.Va.,
and of course, J Robinson. Rivera also throws a few comments about
coach Robinson in the current situation as well.
