Where Toughness Talks
and
Wrestling Never Stops.
Hosted by Dr. Mike Harbison and Coach Craig Van Dyke
Grit & Gut is a wrestling podcast dedicated to everything that makes this sport the greatest in the world. Hosted by Dr. Mike Harbison and Coach Craig Van Dyke, we dive deep into every corner of wrestling — from USA Wrestling events and college showdowns to freestyle, Greco-Roman, folkstyle, and even beach wrestling.
Each episode celebrates the athletes, coaches, and moments that define the sport’s heart — the grit, grind, and guts that wrestling demands. We break down major competitions, highlight rising stars, and share real stories from wrestlers who live this way of life every day.
More than a podcast, Grit & Gut is a community built on respect for hard work, resilience, and the never-quit attitude that wrestling instills. Whether you’re a competitor, coach, parent, or fan, you’ll find insight, humor, and raw authenticity in every conversation.
Because in wrestling — like in life — toughness talks.
