I just read a subreddit asking “what are books that you’ve read that leaves you thinking weeks after you’ve read them? What’s a book that impacted your life so much that you’ve never forgotten it?” Spencer might not be a book, but I tell you what he’s a wrestler that I think about weeks after he’s wrestled. He’s a wrestler that will never be forgotten.
The family sacrifice is what has taken him to the next level. Great genes and 8 day a week work ethic makes a great combo. Then add parents willing to move around the country, fly around the world so their son can achieve his dreams. It's made him an unstoppable force. Great look into his life and career.
@@VicioRay money is usually what makes kids week they have everything provided to them so they become vegetables who require tending and watering to grow this guy is cactus he become stronger
@Extoxico some of the best in the world can be beat at any point. But what makes Lee special is how he comes back from those loses. Can you tell me how many NCAA titles Rivera has?? I'll wait....
@Extoxico lol losing 3 times in a season as the returning champion and coming back to win NCAAs is the epitome of mental toughness. You can lose a close match and still be mentally tough.
Lee Motivates me so much because I’m 5’2 and think that I’m always in a disadvantage because of my height but then I look at Lee and say that I could be just like him. It doesn’t matter about height, it’s about heart, skill, and hard work.
It's like Steveson and Joseph said about Nickal in a conversation - 20% of the pins probably come from guys giving up on wrestling and trying to avoid it. But spencer is also like Nickal - the guys who wrestle head in and hard get pinned, too. And probably put in pain. Lee has an advantage - Nickal and Nolf tried to generate pins in a scramble, and had to bait guys in. Lee can get a guy in the tilt and control them and keep tilting and TF a match all from one takedown. The only power guy I can think of close was retherford (who could put a guy in a bow and arrow and turn, then let go, and then turn). Retherford is like Lee, too, in that everyone says he feels way too strong for a guy his size. Lee has (seems to me) more potential from his feet in international, but the shame of going away from folks style is these two guys are both hammers on the ground and few will get to see it after they're in college.
So crazy, literally being a top 10 guy and making it past 2 minutes before being teched or pinned is sometimes considered an achievement. His dominance is almost incomprehensible.
Was wondering that myself. Probably intentionally left it out. He beat Suriano decisively so maybe they are friends and didn't want to seem to rub it in.
This kid is just magic on the mats. I enjoy watching this kid do all the right things on the mats. I can't wait to see him represent the USA soon enough.
Why is it some human beings can tap into this inner strength, Will and determination especially at such a young age? Nothing but respect for these special kids.
I wish my parents encouraged me while growing up instead of criticizing my existence. I was told by my dad that I was stupid, undesirable and that I wouldn't amount to anything. One of his favorite jokes was that when God was handing out brains I thought He said rain so I said just a little. I lived a destructive life. I avoided relationships and I went out of my way to make a lot of people miserable. Looking back, I realize that I could have been incredibly successful. My dad was smart. He was a master mechanic with a photographic memory. He succeeded at whatever he set out to accomplish. My father passed away a couple of years ago and I can honestly say that I do love my dad. I don't understand why he couldn't encourage me and help me become successful in life. He never took responsibility for his actions and regretfully I promised myself that I would never have a family of my own or children because of the way he treated me. I didn't want him to be happy on my account. Dear fathers, Love your children. Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it. Proverbs 22:6
Loved this documentary. I've been a wrestling fan all my life. I've seen so many great wrestlers but I think that Spencer is now the best wrestler I've ever seen.
This is a spectacularly GREAT video, Highlights > the wisdom and leadership of his father, the huge influence of both his father AND MOTHER, plus we get to see the maturity of greatness in Tom Brands, the respect Tom gives to Cael Sanderson, the great admiration for Terry Brands, comments for DAN GABLE ! And just a truly nice kid - - off the mat. Just don't be on the mat against him !
What I love about Spencer Lee is that he is so hard to root against. I'm from PA and I root for him everytime he steps on the mat but it is amazing to see at Nationals the last 2 year, when he would win Penn State fans would give him a standing ovation. He is the only Iowa wrestler that I think the rest of the country loves to root for.
Spencer lee was in my bracket one time. He ended up falling down the stairs before our match and leaving the tournament. Sooooo technically I won..😂😂😂😂
He’s just getting started and he’s only getting better. As a freshman and sophomore you felt at times he could be beat. The last two years he is wrestling on a level above the rest.
I've been a fan from his jr days. And I'm not ashamed to say he's one of my heroes, and I'm 55yrs old. My son's a born and bread PA. Wrestler around the same age, shoulder injuries held him back. Wrestling in D-2 and having to qualify down in Bethlehem D-11 area with injuries not good. Anyone from Pa. Can attest to. It's just different here!!
This is exactly why I don’t tell my kids that winning isn’t important. Because these are the kind of people they have to compete against. Go hard or go home. Much respect
He made the right choice by choosing Terry! That was my coach at UTC for 3 years and he is the best. Wouldn't have traded that experience for any other school or coach. Great documentary to whoever put this together!
Thanks!. To both the BTN and the Lee family for sharing this video. I caught wind of Spencer after he won his first HS state title, and I instantly became a fan after watching him dominate the field. As an Okie State fan, I had my hopes.. but I think everyone knew he was going to be a Hawkeye. Can't wait for the Olympic team trials...
I really don't care about wrestling but this was worth watching. I wish i had 10% of his drive and ambition. Its amazing he is still in college and has his won special.
Awesome video into what Lee’s mind set and accomplishments have been up to this point. Thank you and hopefully he may accomplish his goals God willing.
Remarkable wrestler and career! As a former Pennsylvania wrestler myself and Penn State fan...my only question for Spenser is WHY Iowa over Penn Sate!????? I mean...if you are choosing between the two schools based on the accomplishments of the head coach...uh...both coaches are phenomenal but I think an Olympic gold medal beats a bronze. But...if you can only choose between two schools (despite being able to go to any school you wanted)...those were definitely your best choices. And I don't think any coach could push you to be better...that is already part of who you are.
Way to go Spencer!!! I think getting some more international matches before the Olympics is always good experience . The Dagestan and even Cuba wrestlers are no joke! Good luck Spencer team USA all the way!!!
Unbelievable kid is a beast!!! Huge win 3rd national championship torn acl in both knees. He used to go to my high school growing up wrestle for Saegertown Panthers in PA.
I spent a morning working with Larry Lee filling and placing sand bags down in Czech Village his first week in town. An awesome guy and I know where Spencer gets his work ethic from. He told me he did not even tell Spencer he was taking the job at Coe College until he decided where he was going to wrestle in college.
i when to Mich. to watch the big ten championship his freshman year, i went for friends , family, wrestling, Snyder, Olympics ,and the state of Mich. i pray for there best.
What a stud - though part of me wonders if he may be too tough for his own good - wrestling through acl issues repeatedly and the injuries recurring now. - whereas burroughs taylor etc seemed to fully recover
He’s so dominant that him losing to Austin desanto (an all-American and one of the best 133’s in the country) at the state championship is “the upset of the century” haha that’s crazy. Dudes a 🐐
Here's another layer of context.... It took the #4 ranked 126 high schooler in the country, a bad knee, and last second takedown to be "upset of the century " That's how dominant Lee was/is
I will be interested to see how his career wraps up. Gable, Brands, Sanderson - amazing wrestlers, now amazing coaches. This didn't focus much on his leadership on the Iowa team, other than the comments from Marinelli. I will be watching to see if someone so personally intense can bring other wrestlers to a higher level as a coach, or if he will simply be unable to relate to those who aren't as driven as him - which is pretty much everyone.
didn't realize Suriano beat Lee at super32. Both incredibly tough and hardworking antagonists. Notice Kyle Bierdumpfel in the bracket. Also a very tough Jersey wrestler.
I don't know too much about wrestling but I had video of some Indian wrestler named Bajarang Punia in my recommended so now I'm down wrestling rabbit hole watching lots of wrestling vids lol. Pretty cool stuff.

I just read a subreddit asking “what are books that you’ve read that leaves you thinking weeks after you’ve read them? What’s a book that impacted your life so much that you’ve never forgotten it?” Spencer might not be a book, but I tell you what he’s a wrestler that I think about weeks after he’s wrestled. He’s a wrestler that will never be forgotten.
If he ever releases a book, I'm the first one buying it.
Seneca on the shortness of life.
I think I'm gonna cry. Pump the brakes. He's a great wrestler, not the second coming.
He'll need to line up behind cael, dan, jordan, etc.

Kemerer. “He’s not just great. He’s better than great.” Real wordsmith.

Without a doubt Cael Sanderson is the GOAT.
@@jamest3552 college wrestle goat easily, but Smith is probably the international GOAT
Was cael as dominant in majors,techs,pins?
If there was a wrestling video game Spencer Lee would be an unlockable character and his overall would be super high

Anyone who wrestles him spends his time trying to avoid getting pinned. Just getting teched is regarded as a win.

There is a new savage opponent and is the only one that is direct threat to Lee. His name is ; Two Knees

Q: Can anyone stop Spencer Lee?
A: Not without nuclear assistance.
So that's how the russian plan to beat him
@@cjb2836 Not sure even that will get it done 😂
When a GREAT Wrestler wins a match they just get up and walk away no celebration no taunting just the VICTORY WALK.....
I've seen spencer wrestle for a while. I would be at a wrestling tournament and he was much younger, known for always winning.
He’s so dominant that him losing to Austin desanto (an all-American and one of the best 133’s in the country) at the state championship is “the upset of the century” haha that’s crazy. Dudes a 🐐
Here's another layer of context....
It took the #4 ranked 126 high schooler in the country, a bad knee, and last second takedown to be "upset of the century "
That's how dominant Lee was/is
The fact that he threw his second place medal away shows what kind of competitor he really is deep down inside.
I will be interested to see how his career wraps up. Gable, Brands, Sanderson - amazing wrestlers, now amazing coaches. This didn't focus much on his leadership on the Iowa team, other than the comments from Marinelli. I will be watching to see if someone so personally intense can bring other wrestlers to a higher level as a coach, or if he will simply be unable to relate to those who aren't as driven as him - which is pretty much everyone.
That was fantastic.
oh my god i can't wait for season
100% not in college, Olympics might be different but I think he can win gold in Olympics all well
