Bishop McCort Athletic wrestler Bo Bassett shed light on his plans to use social media to influence the sport of wrestling. In a recent conversation, Bassett shared that he has been familiar with the social media world since his younger days but he didn't take up seriously then.

Bassett also mentioned that through his social media, he wishes to promote the sport of wrestling and establish a name for himself among the people. He said (via The Bader Show, Florwrestling, 1:15 onwards):

"I had social media when I was younger but I never really turned into like a brand or what I wanted to do for a little bit of time but I can remember I was in middle school when I started it. "

"So, I have been doing it for a while now and just wanting to get my name out there, wanting to get wrestling out there and that's really what it's been about. I love doing that, it's kind of like my passion on the side and honestly I think it makes me closer to the sport" he further added.

During the conversation, Bo Bassett also shared that he plans with his family, especially his father about how to market himself through social media.
