- This coach knows what it
means to come from a small town
and make something of yourself.
He kind of grew up on his own really.
He lived out of town -
he would run into school
four miles every day.
He knows the definition of tough.

I come from a wrestling background.
I've wrestled from the
time I was five years old.
And junior year in high school
I kind of called it quits and told Coach,
"I'm gonna go ride bulls for
the winter and not wrestle.
I mean I'm gonna prepare myself for
hopefully going in to the PBR
this next year as I turn 18."
And he wasn't really happy about it,
but he ended up seeing
that it was well worth it.
(shoes tapping)
So my background of hard
work comes from wrestlin'
and that's what a lot of my
workouts are pinpointed to.
Bull riding and wrestling
are kind of side by side.
It takes toughness, grit.
- [Coach] Don't quit.
Come on, push it.
Now you're tired.
- Yeah, my high school wrestling coach
I had just contacted
him a couple weeks ago
and I said, "Hey Coach.
You wanna start training me again?
I need the second world title.
And I know you can push me for it."
So, he's gonna do just that.
Oh yeah.
I need this today.
I'm gonna ask him if he
can stay a little longer
and just work me out.
(grunting)
- [Coach] Come on.
- [Coach] Good.
- I like to feel during the week
that I've done everything in
preparation for the weekend.
If I go on a weekend and I get bucked off,
I don't wanna look back and be
like, "Should've worked out.
Should've done this, should've done that."
I wanna go into the weekend, no excuses.
Give it all I've got.
If I don't do good?
(scoffs)
It just wasn't my weekend then.
I think wrestling just teaches
you hard work and obedience.
In wrestling to win a match
you gotta have hip control.
You gotta dominate your opponents.
And it's not a fight in a
sense with your opponent.
You gotta flow and move
off of what they're doing.
Same thing with bull riding.
(upbeat theme music)
It comes from your hips.
You don't fight the bull.
You're not gonna to win a
battle with a 2,000-pound bull,
so you gotta flow with them and react
to their moves and not fight it.
You gotta move with them.
