THIS IS EPISODE 459 OF THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST

Jose Campo is a National Wrestling Hall of Famer who coached wrestling for more than 40 years. He is the son of Hall of Fame wrestling coach Joe Campo, and is currently the team chaplain for the U.S. wrestling team.

Growing up, Jose was taught right from wrong, but a series of bad choices, including his involvement in the largest cheating scandal in West Point history at Army, spiraled Jose down a bad path. Ultimately, it was putting his faith and trust in Jesus Christ that allowed him to come back. Today, he spends his life dedicated to God and serving the Lord through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, as well as being a spiritual mentor for the U.S. wrestling team.

On this episode of the podcast, Campo shares how he is serving with USA Wrestling, growing up with a legend as a father, how his life got caught up in a cheating scandal, and the beautiful redemption story that God wrote in bringing Campo out of his mess.
