In this episode of Growth Over Goals, host Jordan Montgomery sits down with Doug Schwab—Olympian, National Coach of the Year, and head coach of the University of Northern Iowa wrestling program. Known for his humility and unwavering belief in his athletes, Schwab shares his journey from the Olympic stage to building one of the nation’s most respected wrestling cultures.

Together, they explore the deeper lessons of leadership, resilience, and faith that extend far beyond the wrestling mat:

Why trust and belief are the ultimate resources—not money, facilities, or credentials

How humility and vulnerability create stronger leaders and tighter cultures

Lessons from loss, resilience, and building character that outlasts competition

The importance of modeling leadership at home as a husband and father

What it takes to attract, develop, and keep great people in a world of quick fixes and constant change

The fight for faith and steadiness when success and pressure collide
Why culture is built on small acts of service—and why “it makes sense to us” has become his team’s motto

This is more than a story about wrestling—it’s a powerful conversation on leadership, family, and faith that will inspire you to lead with humility and invest in people.
