Van’s Holden Myers Talks Rodeo Houston Breakthrough

Kylie Neel catches up with Van native Holden Myers to talk about his latest run at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, one of the biggest stages in the sport. In this episode of East Texas Sports Now, Holden shares what it’s like competing at RodeoHouston, from the massive crowd and electric atmosphere to the pressure that comes with performing in the same venue where the Houston Texans play.

Holden reflects on why Houston has quickly become one of his favorite rodeos, especially after strong performances there over the last two years. He talks about the size of the event, the excitement of competing in front of so many fans, and the financial stakes that make it one of the biggest opportunities of the year for rodeo athletes.

The conversation also dives into steer wrestling, the challenge of staying sharp on a stage that big, and how a strong Houston showing can build momentum for the rest of the season.
