Lee Kemp - From Average Wrestler to State Champion

Lee Kemp is one of the all-time great wrestlers in the sport. In high school, he went from an average wrestler one year, to state champion the next. Watch him explain how the transformation took place.

this is absolute gold every wrestler should be learning and taking advantage of tis knowledge from the legend

I find it hard to believe Lee was ever an average wrestler. I followed him and Kelley Ward throughout their collegiate carriers, Lee set the bar for excellence. His world team performances were just as dominate. Just wish I could have seen that 1980 team wrestle in Moscow, that was a team I think we would still be talking about today.

Probably the greatest college wrestler who ever lived. People just have no idea.

Words so true. The guys that can also learn how to apply these same principles in their lives, well that the key.

In my humble opinion he is the best wrestler to ever come out of Ohio!

[@RingsideLogic]

I’m embarrassed I just discovered who he is.

[@elijahsanchez4945]

Leroy kemp and Kurt Angle are my 2 favorite wrestlers

[@52000rightwing]

This is coming from the guy who effectively ended Dan gables international career. True words from a true legend,
