Building women's wrestling with veteran coach Shannyn Gillespie of Lakeland University

Published: July 7, 2022, 8:21 p.m.

An All-American at Lock Haven during his college days, Shannyn Gillespie has been on the front lines of coaching women\u2019s wrestling for nearly two decades. The Illinois native is currently the head wrestling coach at Lakeland University, a Division III school that offers both men\u2019s and women\u2019s wrestling. On Episode 708 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Gillespie talks about his path from suburban Chicago to tiny Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and the path in life that led him to coaching women, including one of the most pivotal spots in women\u2019s wrestling\u2019s growth - the USOEC at Northern Michigan University.

Gillespie will obviously pitch his Muskies wrestling program, but also offer perspectives and opinions about wrestling and explain the growth of women\u2019s wrestling, his own coaching career and where he sees the sport moving in the future. He\u2019s got a lot of resources on his website at CoachShannyn.com.
