Hawkeye Report Podcast
It’s a special edition of the Hawkeye Report Podcast as Tom Kakert and Tanner Lafever are joined by Mark Bader from FloWrestling to discuss his outstanding documentary on Iowa women’s wrestling and their first year of competition. By the way, Bader and FloWrestling got the finish that they hoped for as Iowa won the national championship.
We discuss how this project came together heading into their first season of team competition and how he had to convince Iowa women’s wrestling head coach Clarissa Chun that she should allow them into the wrestling room to chronicle that season.
Bader discusses what the challenges were for the project and who some of the stars of the documentary were from a wrestling perspective and how he was able to tell their stories. He also talked about how he had a breakthrough moment with Coach Chun and what that fairytale ending came together perfectly for the project.
