Jocko Podcast 402: Discipline and Winning. W/ 3x NCAA Wrestling Champion and UFC Fighter, Bo Nickal 

Outstanding work guys. Tnx for praising him.

I went to the JRob camp in 2008 and it changed my mentality towards hard work completely. I left that camp and I wished that I was still there, training from sun up to sun down every day. Helped me become a state champion in California. It’s sad that it no longer exists

This podcast has definitely changed my whole outlook on Bo Nickal. I had misconstrued thoughts based on the media. He's a stand up guy

Can we please get Cael Sanderson I wanna hear about the culture at Penn state so bad from him and how he goes about structuring the program. He’s an idol in the Wrestling community and produces some of the best wrestlers year in and year out and how he knew structuring different from other colleges was going to be successful etc. Cael and jocko in the black screen are you kidding me!!!

Bo is Mr. America. Two good parents, a loving home. Good for him. Lucky guy.

Damn this is great, please have more wrestlers on

Here's my prediction! Bo Nickal UFC Champ 2024!

You should 100% try to get David Taylor on! He just won his third world championship medal (also has Olympic gold). He’s one of the best wrestlers America has had in a while!

Hats off to Bo, for being super authentic and not sugar coating his adversity! I'm convinced he'll be ufc champ eventually!

I got goosebumps listening to Bo talk about pinning Myles Martin in the NCAA finals. Again. What a moment!

Hearing Jocko say cheeeeck makes my day better

Bo is a Monster at wrestling and to win 3x NCAA Championship you have to be a beast.

From UK here, but can’t help recognise the greatness coming out of this podcast

J. Robb. Wrestler 1970's USA. The J7: 'The necessary fundamentals to build a successful and fulfilling life'. - 1. Discipline. (doing what yo don't want to do when yo don't want to do it). 2. Dedication (yo ability to commit day after day) 3. Sacrifice (give up something to get something) 4. Hard work (yo can outwork 90% of all americans) 5. Responsibility (yo are in charge of the decisions yo make, who yo are, and what yo do). 6. Accountability (yo must own the decisions that affect yo life). 7. Service (give back to yo community and make a difference). ty boys.

Man I wish I had a dad like that, that put me in a position to learn all these things Bo has

The greatest opponent was facing you in the mirror everyday. Having to cut weight just to have the privilege to wrestle that day was an accomplishment in itself.

Bo Nickal, for a psu fan here, is one of if not the most exciting penn state atheltes ive watched. When he hit the elevator on myles martin in the NCAA finals to win an NCAA title and clinch the team title i think that may have been the single best moment as a psu sports fan.

Instead of training to have a chance to win....train so they have no chance to win. Thank you for this, Bo. This is our mindset moving forward.

It's Bo time!!!!! 3 savages in the building. Wrestling my first love!

Dear Mr. Willink, you have been a big inspiration for me. I was influenced by you and Joe Rogan to get into Jiu-Jitsu. My name is Faris and I am a 21-year-old living and working in Germany. A month ago, I joined a Jiu-Jitsu gym with prior minor freestyle-wrestling background (I trained for 4 month 5 years ago when I was younger). I am currently overweight but my body seems to adapt very quickly to this sport. The hardest part was just forgetting to give your back. I have already sumbitted around every new white belt in my gym (including people taller than me and bigger than me) I have also mainted my ego and love getting humbled, sometimes I let the opponent put me in a situation that sucks just so I can learn how to survive and never complain when I get submitted by blue belts. I have realized Jiu-Jitsu has a weakness of lacking the principles of wrestling. And I have been able to take down a lot of blue belts but then I am dumbfounded and don't know what to do exactly apart from chokes. I wish wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu become a single sport

Can someone do a "let's go" count for this episode?

Bo is such a cool dude. I wish you all the best bro. Come after that UFC belt!

I'm definitely a new Bo Nickal fan

Bo saying frick just makes me happy haha

Great interview on both ends, really insightful and organic 🔥

God I wanted to hate Bo so bad in this interview, but I realized I was just jealous, wishing I had that relationship with my dad.

Jrob intensive camps right off the bat. Oh ya this gonna be good

My respect to all of you in the podcast !

Dude I like how the old school video colors are back! And this guy is one of the greatest

Tulsa Nationals every year was always the coolest thing i ever experienced. The Tournament. Reno was cool, Tulsa was Nationals

Great podcast. No fluff. Just straight athletics and mindset.

Fantastic interview.

I went to the JRob 28 day intensive camp twice. Sending me to that camp in high school was one of the best things my parents ever did for me.

We need Alex Jones on.

The first 3 minutes is exactly what i needed 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

We need Burroughs,Dake,Gable,Smith,Sanderson and "Cejudo on next.

Sean Strickland and the Philly Shell. Man that was an awesome performance. Izzy didn't have his jab and couldn't figure Sean out. Most of Izzy's strikes were leg kicks that were also being deflected.

Hell yeah I will listen to Bo nickal

Bo is a legend

That story of Bo getting a pin in 4 seconds makes me really happy. I was once pinned in about 8 seconds. Now I feel like a Chad

This podcast is one of my all time favorite non SOG podcast shows. SOG podcasts with author and book are my favorites (❤ military history)

Man come on these guest are magnificent 👌

Bo is such a likeable guy and savage!! 🥰

Great interview

Future Champ right here!!

"Let's go" Bo Nickal

Snyder only needed a major decision, Nevills really came through

guys already a champion. heart spirit body mind full package good guy hard not to like him a true role model

You can just tell this is a good dude through and through. One of my favorite interviews to date. Jocko's patience in letting him respond without interrupting is impressive. Great job all around.

“Know what you want. Effort. Gratitude.”

2001 - loved the CLAW!!! Best return to mat technique ever You can never buy the shirt!!!

Being a jiu-jitsu guy I always side with jiu-jitsu backgrounds but you can't help but to love this guy. AND NEW!!

Great interview. Only question I wished you all would have asked is who he wants for the next fight. When's he getting somebody in the top 15?

What’s up it’s psyche. Thankyou Jocko n Team. Bo i look forward to your title reign.

Footwork is the key to everything

WE ARE *PENN STATE* !!!🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠

I like the dark room this podcast had before better

LOOVVEEE Bo!!!

Very good Podcast Fellows. The entire cast we as the viewer see, well that didn't come out how I wanted, But you're all fantastic. Very interesting, Quite the guest. Thank you.

Breaking his collar bone by falling off a one wheel skateboard at 23mph is insane.

Excellent, excellent interview. During his college career I always viewed Bo as a bit too cocky for my liking but I've seen interviews since then and my outlook has slowly changed. After this, I consider myself a fan. My son is 12 and wrestles. I showed him some of Bo's matches and he right off noticed Bo "helping" his opponents up off the mat after he annihilates them. He totally gets the joke. It's just a hilarious final insult / non-insult / show of sportsmanship / emasculation, glad Bo touched on that.

Jocko fights for our country so people like Bo nickel can do cool ass shit

Epic podcast. Love Bo.

Bo is such a stud. I hope he's the next UFC champion.

Bo "Let's Go" Nickal

Spot on! 👊🏻🇺🇸👊🏻

Bo Nickel vs Borz!! Let’s go!! 😮😮😮

The Kid is a great human being and he personifies what having a relationship with the Lord is all about, In listening to this , I could almost see his accounting of his wild journey! I simply can not imagine what having that level of success is even like! Im proud for him. I hope that one day ..hopefully sooner than later He reduces the use ofbthe word "like" from his vocabulary as many of the youngsters nowadays say it ALOT.. and it can sometimes make it difficult to really listen intently . But make no mistake about it, STRENGTH,HUMILITY CONFIDENCE,HOPE This one has it and I wish him all the best in life.

Bo “Lets Go” Nickal

We are!!

Amazing! I want to know the bad experience when calling coaches saying he is going to Penn State.

His description of football in Texas was exactly how it is in Corona California when I went in 2001-2005. I also did wrestling but had to choose one

Been listening to the podcast on apple podcast and had no idea echo wasn’t a scrawny kid.. world shattered

Does anyone have a time stamp when they are talking about the mat factory?!

Wrestling is the perfect sport for you trying to create a dedicated, disciplined, tough, young man or women. We gotta make it more popular!

AWESOME !!

Rooting for you, Bo. Great job with this episode, Jocko.

I also love how Bo shows you can love God and be a bad ass!!! They are not mutually exclusive.. they are actually a FORCE to be reckoned with when put together!

As a Father & eldest sibling, I think this is some of the most beneficial content I've consumed on RU-vid. Yet, here I am amazed at how similar Bo resembles Islam Makhachev, TJ Dillashaw, & a hint of Schaub-aesthetics & articulation 😂

forecast- 3 years Bo will be pound-for-pound GOAT

huge fan of Bo. Anyone know why he refuses to say Martin's name...?

Only the very top program can recruit the way PSU does….it actually helps to emphasize the fact that they’re the best. Every recruit is fully aware of that fact…the low key professional vibe reinforces that notion. Psychologically it creates the impression that they’re not merely the best of the best, rather they’re playing a different game entirely.

The first 5 min could be the whole podcast 😂😂😂

Wow impressive human being.

Bo: i’ve never been worked over and choked… Jocko and Echo: challenge accepted

We are!!!!!!

Great podcast!! Coach Cael up next!!

Good thing you explained the Jeff Manson match because I always thought you were terrible at BJJ based on that short RU-vid clip. Had no idea he was a world champion.

WE AREEEEEE

I’m not subscribed to this channel and I don’t watch it but whenever I leave RU-vid running it shoved this down my throat

Much Respect From Anaheim California . Great video

Before listening, I know this one is going to make me feel guilty about not putting in more reps.

Awesome. Willink 2024.

Let’s Go!

I’m trying to give back everything that wrestling gave me

PHENOMENAL EPISODE!!!!!! I always liked Bo as a fighter, but getting to know him as a person has seriously opened my eyes to how much of a amazing man he is!! This was dope Jocko!!!!

I thought this was gonna be with Sean Strickland for a sec lmao

"I wasn't wrestling full time, I just did 100 plus matches a year starting at age 9"

Dichotomy of Wrestling and Life :: Discipline is Freedom. minus home school except Joe Dirt and Betty Crocker.

Who knew riding a Onewheel on the streets with your hands full would be dangerous?!
