By:
Five-time World Champion bullfighter Rob Smets joins the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast to share the incredible journey that made him one of the most respected names in rodeo.
Rob takes us from his childhood growing up around the world, to discovering rodeo, earning his PRCA card as a teenager, and shocking the sport by winning the Cow Palace and the U.S. Cowboy Bullfighting Championship during his rookie season. Along the way, he shares the mindset, preparation, and split-second decision making that separates great bullfighters from everyone else.
We also dive into:
- How boxing, football, and rugby shaped his bullfighting style
- Why bullfighting is far more technical than most people realize
- The psychology behind protecting bull riders
- The physical and mental cost of a career in the arena
- Funny stories from the road—including how one of his bulls got the name "Blackberry"
- Teaching the next generation through the Rob Smets Bullfighting School
- What it really takes to become a professional in one of rodeo's most dangerous jobs
Whether you're a lifelong rodeo fan or just want to hear from someone who's spent a lifetime competing at the highest level, this episode is packed with stories, wisdom, and laughs.
