Driven By Inspiration, Not Desperation | World Champion Wrestler, Adeline Gray

This week’s conversation is with Adeline Gray, one of the top professional freestyle wrestlers in the world, male or female.

She is a 2016 Olympian, five-time World Champion (2012, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019), seven-time World Championship medalist and went undefeated in international competition from 2014-2016.

Adeline’s 2019 World title and fifth World Championship win gave her the title of the most decorated female American wrestler in history.

I wanted to speak with Adeline to understand how she became a trailblazer for her sport - how did she stay the course when there wasn’t one, when there were few role models to look up to?

Adeline’s story isn’t all roses - after going undefeated from 2014-2016 in international competition, she wasn’t able to get it done at the 2016 Rio Olympics, finishing in 7th place.

We discuss what went wrong at those Games and how’s she’s adjusted her mindset heading into the Tokyo Olympics.

I think this is a perfect conversation with the Games only a few weeks out...
