Dan Gable

Dan Gable's career accomplishments are etched in wrestling lore, from his 1972 unscored-on Olympic gold-medal performance on the mat to his record-setting 15 NCAA titles as wrestling coach. He is one of the few former dominant athletes in a sport who is equally dominant as a coach, producing 152 All-Americans and 45 NCAA champions at the University of Iowa. He also coached the 1980, 1984, and 2000 U.S. Olympic wrestling squads. Gable still coaches elite wrestlers while working as an assistant athletic director at Iowa and maintaining a busy speaking schedule. Recently he was selected by President George W. Bush to serve on the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
