Gene Zannetti talks with Minnesota state champion Anthony Heim about his dramatic comeback win in the state finals when he was down by two with his opponent in on his leg, how learning to relax and breathe through matches transformed his season after a disappointing start, why he developed a reset button by touching his toes and taking deep breaths between every break in the action, and how coaching youth wrestlers helped him fall in love with the sport again and avoid burnout.
