- Spencer Lee Before Iowa
On this special episode of the RUDIS Wrestling Podcast, Ben Askren sits down with 2x NCAA Champion and Iowa Hawkeye Spencer Lee for an exclusive interview. Askren first met Lee at Young Guns Camp when Lee was a sophomore or junior in high school. Even at that time, Lee was a wrestling prodigy with 3 Pennslyvania State Titles a Cadet World Title and 2 Junior World Titles. They talk about Lee's beginning experiences with the sport of wrestling, how he developed his skills and the mindset ingrained in him from his father. Next, they get into Lee's experience winning Cadet Worlds. Askren and Lee also talk recruitment and how it was between Iowa, Iowa State, and Penn State when he was deciding where he wanted to wrestle in college. Lee talks about the process of getting back into competition and rehabbing his knee injury.
Austin DeSanto and Wrestling Conditioning
Askren brings up the topic of Austin DeSanto. Ever since high school and DeSanto beat Lee at states they had mutual respect. Lee talks about wanting DeSanto to come to Iowa and how it all worked out in the end. The next topic Askren and Lee get into is wrestling conditioning and lifting weights. Lee works with Iowa's strength and conditioning coach but overall doesn't stress strength and is more focused on being a technician with a gas tank that won't fail him during the crucial moments of a match.
Freestyle Career and Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling Style
Askren asks Lee to talk about his future plans competing in freestyle and chasing Olympic Gold. Lee says he does not have plans set in stone. He will continue to discuss with the people around him and his coaches to figure out what's best for him and his career. The last topic is about the Iowa Hawkeyes and their style of wrestling. Askren has picked Iowa to win next years team title. Lee agrees that they have more than enough talent and the opportunity is there for the taking they just have to execute and avoid injury to the best of their ability.

🙏🏿.. thank you Mr. Askren!! Spencer is my favorite wrestler, and I've been trying to get an answer to that 2020 question.. Can't wait for next year's team trials; but we're focused on the next on. #TeamLee #Lee2020
Was mine too, til I discovered Yianni!
You would break the internet if Desanto got on here
This kid is something else.
I look forward to watching him win gold.
He will make the Olympic team.... 2020 gold
You still think that after yesterday not questioning lee at all but just wondering
YESSSSS! Spruce Lee Presses Ben askren on hating the IOWA style!
He should only compete just enough to qualify and win the NCAA then go win an Olympic gold in August. But then again who am I to question Tom and Terry lol.
Spencer is such a good dude. His parents should be proud
This was awesome thanks Ben!
Love Spencer Lee!
Great time, thanks!!!!
Hey Ben great show the few I've caught!
spencer, is a great , wish the best for him,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, from an Oregon state beaver
Wish you would have asked him why he doesn't practice his tilt to both sides.
Because he doesn't need to.
Mark Hall had three world titles also
Pull ups, push ups, sit ups and dips are where its at, even chop and drops, and jump rope, bicycle.
OHHH!!!.... Almost forgot, stretching and breathing techniques.
The greatest show on earth! Sorry Ben, I am talking about Spencer. Your show is awesome though. Wizard stuff.
Where's Jordan Burroughs???😕
34:10 talks about lifting weights
Ben was Rt he shoved drake at the end of there match this year
Not a punch but close
Bored in college, so he pursued video games! Imagine explaining that lack of curiosity during a job interview. And what does that say about the college curriculum?
I can't stop thinking about that Masvidal knee.... I am sorry.
Lucky shot... however George probably would of still beat Ben.
Liked and commented before even watching, good on ya ben!
Now is it the main series game or pokemon go?
Ben Askren what would it take for you to interview me? Lol
Is it just me or is there a lot of punches NOT being thrown in the Iowa wrestling room?! C'mon man!
Nobody would need to wrestle for another club because Young Gunz is top club in country.
iowa go
That fact this doesn’t have 100k views at least bothers me haha
Ben, you should probably lifting weights.
