Big Questions With Cal Fussman

For years, Cal wanted to have a conversation with the greatest wrestler who ever lived. Dan Gable went undefeated in high school, won two national championships at Iowa State University and took a gold medal at the 1972 Olympics by beating six opponents with three pins and shutting his other opponents out by a combined score of 26-0. His dominance continued as a coach at the University of Iowa, where his teams won 15 national titles between 1976 and 1997. He is the personification of excellence, which made Cal completely unprepared for where this conversation turned. It’s about the importance of asking for help, and it’s mandatory listening.
