This week we are chatting with Cyclist Steve Herschberger!

Welcome to 2025 and to the new season of the Like a Bigfoot Podcast!! This week's episode is a very open discussion about a healthy mindset, the obstacles we face, and how to recover from trauma (both physical and emotional).

Steve Herschberger is an extremely accomplished cyclist- having raced all over the world. A year ago he was hit by a driver in a hit and run, breaking half of his ribs, his collarbone, spine and neck.

This episode is all about the comeback. What it takes to recover from some serious hard times life throws at you!

Hope you all learn from and enjoy the conversation as much as I did!!

Conosci anche tu quel tipo al Box che si presenta con più attrezzatura di un Navy SEAL, ma non sa fare uno squat senza sembrare affetto da un problema neurologico? 

Quello che fa video in slow motion dei suoi WOD scalati ma il sabato sera è al McDonald's a fare stories con l'hamburger?

Benvenuti nel meraviglioso mondo dell'Atleta* della Domenica (*secondo Instagram), dove l'unica cosa più gonfiata del suo ego è il prezzo delle sue scarpette nuove di zecca.

Una storia vera. Fin troppo vera

This week we continue our Faith in Sports Series with Olympic and World Champion Wrestler Kyle Snyder. In this episode, Kyle shares his incredible journey of wrestling and faith. At a young age Kyle wanted to be an Olympic Champion. Wrestling was everything. Kyle shares how his wrestling career shaped his understanding of God.

"Through wrestling I found out who God was and who Jesus is." 

Kyle is a 2016 Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler. He is the youngest Olympic gold medalist and youngest World Champion in American wrestling history. He was a 3-time NCAA National Champion at Ohio State with a career record of 75-5 and ended his college career as the first and only wrestler to win the NCAA, World and Olympic championships as a collegiate athlete.

After moving to the Olympic Training Center as a senior in High School, Kyle started going to Bible studies at the request of coaches and continued attending them as a freshman at Ohio State. Despite his desire to grow in his faith, his identity was still wrapped up in his wrestling accomplishments.

A heart breaking loss in the NCAA Finals as a freshman sent Kyle into a state of depression and ultimately led to him surrendering it all to Jesus. This decision changed Kyle's life, allowing him to embrace his God-given abilities fully.

Throughout this conversation, Kyle emphasizes the importance of being anchored in God's Word and how his commitment to studying the Bible and finding mentorship continues to strengthen his faith.

Kyle concludes by highlighting that our ultimate purpose in life is to know God, grow in His character, serve Him, and teach others about Him.
