Bo Bassett talks about the importance of faith in his wrestling career
Bo Bassett spoke about the importance of faith in god in his wrestling career in the last few years. Bassett has spoken about his faith in god and giving back to society several times in the past.
In an interview a couple of months back, Bassett said his faith grew stronger over the last 3-4 years. He added that it started during his first time at the Olympic Training Center, when he also had his first Bible study. He said (via WrestlersGrind, 9:11 onwards):
"My faith is my everything and over the last year, it's kind of a lot bigger than it ever was. Last three or four years, I've been a pretty hard Christian and I got that when I went to the Olympic training center for the first time, so I was at one of my all-time highs which is crazy and I went to my first ever Bible study."
Further speaking in the interview, Bo Bassett said the Bible study changed his entire life and that it was much different from the one he had earlier.
