James Chaplin – Athlete, Coach & Unfiltered Voice
A decorated wrestler and seasoned football player, with Empire State Games golds in Greco-Roman, and silvers in freestyle under his belt. He’s competed at the high school, college, and semi-pro levels, bringing grit and versatility to every position on the field and every match on the mat.
Today, he’s a coach and father who channels that same fire into shaping perspectives on life beyond sports. On Pulling No Punches, James brings raw honesty to the table—breaking down the intersections of culture, politics, community, and fatherhood with the clarity of someone who’s lived the fight. No filters. No holding back.
