Carlos Calvano

I wrestled throughout most of my childhood and school years. Because I moved around a lot, I got the chance to wrestle in different places, meet a lot of great people, and learn from a lot of different coaches and teammates. I stepped away from wrestling during high school, and honestly, it’s something I’ve regretted ever since. I always wondered what could’ve happened if I had stayed with it. Now I’m getting back into combat sports, and this year I found out I’m going to have a son. That changed everything for me. I want him to grow up knowing that it’s never too late to chase something you believe in and that you can always come back stronger. I’m doing this for myself, but I’m also doing it so one day I can look at my son and tell him I never gave up on myself. I want to prove to him that anything is possible if you’re willing to put the work in.
