Hall said Saturday, March 2, that he plans to return to Apple Valley for his sophomore year. He said the pursuit of Minnesota high school wrestling history is a daily motivator and the primary reason he plans to return to Apple Valley rather than accept an invitation to train full time with the U.S. wrestling team at the Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs, Colo.

In episode one of The Prodigy, phenom Mark Hall gives you an inside like at his training and day-to-day life in Davison, Michigan. A soon to be sophomore, Hall has accomplished more than almost any other wrestler in the country. He's had to sacrifice a lot too. Go behind the scenes with this young guru as he gives you an inside look at his training and discusses his moving all over the country to achieve his goals.

Seems like a great kid.

I like that his dad makes him take time off. While the grind is great, wearing out can lead to injuries long term and possibly ruin a career.

Good to see him taking the opportunity to fully enjoy his prep wrestling opportunities.  He will never regret it.

I think you nailed it, Ghetto. If this kid is going to stay great, it's about perspective and having some other loves outside of wrestling. Neat kid. Hope he achieves his dreams.
