Dan Gable is the most well known name in the wrestling world. He won an incredible 181 matches in a row in high school and college, with his only defeat coming in his very last match in the NCAA finals his senior year... "And then I got good." Gable says... At the 1972 Munich Olympics, the then Soviet Union announced one goal: We will find a wrestler who will defeat Dan Gable. They were unsuccessful. He went on to win the '72 Olympic Games without surrendering a single point. Astonishingly, these accolades are trumped by Gable's coaching accomplishments. As the University of Iowa’s all-time winningest coach from '76 to '97, Gable won 15 NCAA Team Titles (9 of which were consecutive), 21 Big Ten Team Titles (Every single year he was head coach) and produced 152 All-Americans, 45 National Champions, 106 Big Ten Champions , and 12 Olympians including 3 Bronze Medalists, 1 Silver Medalist, and 4 Gold Medalists.
Dan's philosophies and coaching methods have helped create and even save many great men. His legacy is titanic, bur as you will see, his heart is even bigger. In this episode we will discuss everything from receiving The Presidential Medal of Freedom, Donald Trump wrestling in High School, and making wrestlers run 15 miles weekly in the winter in Iowa, to Dan's time on The Joe Rogan Experience, the importance of having Faith in God, and how to Dan got the most out of his athletes.
It was an immense pleasure to speak with one of my heroes. I hope you enjoy this episode.
