Brent Metcalf | Iowa State Wrestling, Mindset, and Life

Brent Metcalf is entering his fifth season as a full-time assistant coach on Iowa State’s wrestling staff. It is his sixth season overall with the Cyclones after serving as the volunteer assistant for the 2017-18 season.
As a senior-level athlete, Metcalf was a staple in the United States’ lineup from 2010-2016. He was a part of four U.S. Freestyle World Teams (2010, 2013, 2014, 2015). He won a gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games in Canada and claimed World Cup gold medals in 2014 and 2015 in Los Angeles. Other major international events he won included the 2014 UWW Golden Grand Prix Finals in Azerbaijan and a silver medal at the 2013 Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix in Russia.
Metcalf is one of the most decorated wrestlers in Iowa wrestling history. He won two NCAA titles (2008, 2010) and was a three-time NCAA finalist (2008-10) in his three seasons wrestling for the Hawkeyes.
A native of Davison, Mich., Metcalf won the 2008 Dan Hodge trophy, given annually to the nation’s best collegiate wrestler, and helped the Hawkeyes to three NCAA team titles (2008, 2009, 2010).
Metcalf was one of the most highly touted prep wrestlers. While wrestling for Davison High School, he posted a record of 228-0 with 156 victories by fall. He was one of the best athletes to wrestle in USA Wrestling’s age-group program, winning six ASICS Junior National Titles, three each in freestyle and Greco-Roman.

I played football with Brent in high school. Had he been a little bigger, the dude would have been an All Pro NFL football player. The dude is definitely built different. Glad I stumbled into this interview.

[@GarciaVideoProductions]

Any good Brent Metcalf stories????

[@paulbradley1763]

The honesty of Brent in this interview is great to see.

[@yo2stix]

He was a bit hard to like when he was competing but post D1 he’s been a lot easier to like and these interviews he’s awesome.
Great questions also Mr Interviewer.

[@Steven-sk6vm]

Awesome interview.

[@jimmynox8257]

This is a great interview.

[@tairapeace]

Metcalf is being modest about mma in my opinion
I believe he would've been a monster in MMA as well if wanted to do it

[@brettturner5780]

Terrific!

[@GarciaVideoProductions]

Thank you!

[@Tdinh79]

I'm curious about Brent's take on youth wrestling as a whole, and if he will highly encourage his kids to wrestle or let them guide themselves in their own endeavors.

[@julian22arreola]

Brent loses year of eligibility but now guys jump schools for NIL contracts with no consequences

[@benjamincrawford2979]

And Dresser was responsible for not giving him a full release from V-Tech...now they are coaching together🤣

[@JS45678]

Oh, the irony! 😂

[@kurtlouis858]

That was great

[@HotMetalWelder2625]

I swear Brent talking about his brother's death and how he handled it... I UNDERSTAND!!!!!

[@LOLSNAPED]

I remember wrestling practice with him and his brother and when Chase died it split the team in half because of Jimmy

[@GarciaVideoProductions]

Wow!!

[@jeff-hh9mc]

Two time national champion to respect BUT I literally lost money when he got beat in the finals of what his junior year?

[@mickeyjackson9318]
