Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida became the first
four-year school at the NAIA or NCAA level to field a wrestling
program in decades when it launched this past season. On Episode
253 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we visit with Javier
Maldonado, the head coach of the Fire.
Maldonado was an NCAA qualifier for the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga during his college years and was active on the
freestyle and Greco circuit dating back to his years at Kissimmee
Osceola High School outside of Orlando. After teaching and coaching
for five years at his alma mater, Maldonado had a unique
opportunity to present itself -- becoming the head coach at one of
the NAIA's newest programs in a state devoid of scholarship-level
wrestling.
We'll talk with Maldonado about the school's brand-new wrestling
facility, his trip to the Olympic Trials with his athletes and
becoming the model program for other schools in Florida to start
intercollegiate wrestling.
