Two brothers. One path. And now… it’s their turn.

The Ross Twins (Thomas & John) join New Jersey Mat Chat to talk about their journey, their bond, and what’s next as they prepare to enter one of the toughest wrestling rooms in the country at CBA.

This episode goes deeper than wrestling:

• Growing up as twins

• Battling serious health issues early in life

• Choosing the right high school program

• Competing against each other for a spot

• Their mindset heading into high school wrestling

From the mat to life outside the sport, this is a real look at two young wrestlers with big goals — and the discipline to back it up.

If you follow NJ wrestling… remember the name.
