Ep 128: From Massage Table to Wrestling Ring with Jarrod Fritz

May 05, 20251 min read

Jarrod Fritz’s journey into the world of sports massage and bodywork is anything but ordinary.

In this episode, Jarrod shares how a series of “happy accidents” led him from considering a career in medicine to becoming a sought-after sports therapist, educator, strongman competitor, and professional wrestling referee.

With over two decades of experience, he’s worked with elite athletes at the Olympics, WWE, and US Soccer, blending hands-on expertise with a passion for teaching and personal growth.

Through candid stories and practical insights, Jarrod discusses the realities of working at the highest levels of sport, the importance of adaptability and humility, and why genuine curiosity is essential for both practitioners and educators.

He also opens up about the lessons strength sports have taught him, the value of being present, and how caring for others-whether clients, students, or rescue cats-shapes his approach to life and work.
