How Wrestling Impacted Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer has repeatedly spoken of building a tough team that’s technically sound.
In short, he wants his team to embody lessons he learned while wrestling and playing football in high school for his late father, Bill Zimmer, at Lockport Township High School outside of Chicago.
Mike Zimmer was profiled recently by Brian Jerzak for TheGuillotine.com, a website devoted to covering amateur wrestling. Zimmer told Jerzak about the crossover between the sports and about how much he valued his relationship with his father, a member of the Illinois High School Football Football and Wrestling Halls of Fame.
