Dan Gable poster by asics

This poster show that wrestling is a basis for succeeding in life because everything after wrestling becomes easier due to the skills that you pick up. These skill could include leadership qualities and overall discipline and courage to go out and try different things. The man in the poster, Dan Gable, is an Olympic gold medalist and World Wrestling Champion also the former head wrestling coach at the University of Iowa. While coaching at Iowa from 1976-1997 the team won 16 NCAA national championships which was formerly unaccomplished.  Dan Gable compiled a dual meet record of 355–21–5. He coached 152 all-Americans, 45 national champions, 106 Big Ten Champions and 12 Olympians, including four gold, one silver and three bronze medalists. The Hawkeyes won 25 consecutive Big Ten championships, 21 while he was head coach and four while he was an assistant coach and administrator.
The poster uses the lack of color and lack of “pizzazz” to show that it isn't about flash, and there is no BS involved in wrestling the only way to succeed is by working hard and dedicating yourself to it. He  was well known for this quote because it helps solidify the fact that wrestling is one of the most grueling and difficult sports in existence today.
