"A Wrestling Life shows readers not only how Dan Gable cultivated
the 'Iowa Way' to becoming a world-class athlete, but how he became
the man behind the athlete. Through his unwavering commitment to
teamwork and using the hardships in his life to fuel his
unparalleled work ethic, he has truly been earned his place as the
godfather of Iowa sports."--Nate Kaeding, former Iowa Hawkeye and
NFL football player
"Coach Gable is the best mentor a person could ever have in their
lives."--Tom Brands, head wrestling coach, University of Iowa
"Dan Gable has been called 'Sports Figure of the Century' by Sports
Illustrated. If you've never heard of him (or even if you have),
you're in for a treat. A Wrestling Life details Gable's most
profound triumphs and disappointing losses, both on the mat and
off. He's been a primary inspiration to me since I was 15, and this
book will show you why. In a modern world of political correctness
and glad handing, the art of the fight is highly undervalued. Allow
Dan to show you another way."--Tim Ferriss, author, The 4-Hour
Body
"The stories in A Wrestling Life offer keen insight into how,
beginning at a very young age, Dan Gable was able to use personal
achievement, adversity, and even tragedy as motivation to reach the
highest levels of success and to have a profound affect on those
around him. Gable's love and commitment to his family, teammates,
teams, and friends jumps out in story after story. As a high school
and college wrestler I wanted to wrestle for Dan Gable. Now I know
why!"--Mike Golic, ESPN broadcaster, NFL player, Notre Dame
football player and wrestler
