Bobby Douglas overcame enormous obstacles to become a legendary figure in the sport of wrestling. He grew up as a poor, young black kid living with his grandparents in a coal-mining community in eastern Ohio. The pressures he dealt with in what looked like a hopeless situation are hard for many people to fathom.  He was a trailblazer for black athletes and coaches in the sport of wrestling.

The best wrestlers in United States history – Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, Dave Schultz, John Smith, Kevin Jackson, Bruce Baumgartner, Kenny Monday and Zeke Jones – were positively impacted by his coaching and guidance. He has impacted countless others with the technique books he has authored.

You will learn about how he built the program at Arizona State, and how he led the Sun Devils to the only NCAA team title by a school west of the Rocky Mountains. You also will see how he recruited and coached Sanderson to the greatest career in NCAA history. You also will learn how he kept Sanderson on track to win an Olympic gold medal.

The story of Bobby Douglas truly is an American success story.
