Episode 7: Bigger than Wrestling: The Making of Ashton Boswell

“Grit, Glory & Growth: The Ashton Boswell Story”

In this episode, we step onto the mat and into the mind of Ashton Boswell—2025 215lb Tennessee State Champion, high school senior, standout wrestler, and a young man who’s redefining what it means to lead with discipline and heart.

Ashton shares how wrestling shaped his character, the lessons he’s learned from both wins and losses, and how he stays locked in on his goals, even when the pressure hits hard. When asked who he looks up to most, Ashton didn’t name a coach or celebrity—he said, “Myself, in ten years.” That one line speaks volumes about his mindset and the vision he’s chasing.

This episode is about more than just sports—it’s about self-belief, growth through adversity, and becoming the kind of person your younger self would be proud of. Whether you’re an athlete, a student, or simply in your own season of becoming, Ashton’s story will leave you inspired to keep showing up and putting in the work.
