The American Wrestling community has its eyes fixated upon the fresh season of NCAA collegiate wrestling. Despite a blazing first week of the new season, a lot of NCAA’s attention is being stolen by a wrestler who doesn’t go to college. In fact, he has already received several honors that put him directly in the same league as LeBron James.

Bo Bassett is a 45kg wrestling sensation who has won several age group world championships. The young US wrestling prodigy, who is still in high school, was recently featured in a video on social media. Articulating his thoughts in the video, Bassett shared what exactly goes through his mind when he’s competing in tournaments. In fact, he also divulged how his elite mindset constantly allows him to win, the pure champion energy he runs on, so to speak.

The winning mindset that runs parallel to that of LeBron James

Bo Bassett has already made it to Team USA and dons the national team’s colors across multiple competitions. The young wrestling sensation won the 2021 U17 World Championship and also won the Super 32 and Ironman Championship in 2022. Wrestling Mindset recently uploaded a reel on its official Instagram page where Bassett gave a glimpse of his elite winning mindset.

Bo Bassett said, “We have that confidence when we go out there and we know that. So the week going into it, we’re thinking about it a lot. Right, we’re not putting too much pressure on ourselves like, ‘Oh! It’s Super 32! We have to go win this.’ Like, you know, it’s do-or-die type stuff. It’s not like that.” These words were taken from a clip of the video interview Wrestling Mindset had with the world champ.

This mindset allowed the wrestling star to win several competitions and get nominated for the Sports Kid of the Year by Sports Illustrated Kids. Moreover, Bassett is one of the five finalists in the run for the award. This achievement doesn’t just put him on the same stage as LeBron James, but Eli Manning and Bryce Harper as well. It’s high time the world recognized his brilliance.

Both LeBron James and Bo Bassett enter their matches with tremendous levels of confidence and outplay everyone else. Interestingly, Bassett also revealed the source of his LeBron James’ level of confidence, which is an apt allusion or comparison to make.

The conduit of his infinite reservoir of confidence

Bassett noted that while he doesn’t take a lot of pressure, he can only do so because he knows he can trust himself. The young LeBron James equivalent said that he is aware that he has trained the hardest. Moreover, he’s also aware that he has equipped himself with several skills at the training camp.
