#22: Thomas Gilman--Stay Clear While Machine In Use

This 125-pound warrior is a BEAST on the wrestling mat and trains every day for life.  Thomas Gilman was a 2017 World Silver medalist at 57kg. He is an avid reader and hates social media (you will find out why.) He was taught from a young age that nothing everything in life is earned, and nothing will be given to you.    This is what a mindset of a warrior will achieve- In High school, Gilman was a four-time Nebraska state champion... won the 103 pound title as a freshman, the 112 pound title as a sophomore, the 119 pound title as a junior, and the 132 pound title as a senior... led Omaha Skutt to the team championship three times (2009-10, 2012) and a runner-up finish in 2011... four-time River City all-conference honoree... 2009 NHSCA national champion and Cadet Freestyle All-American (103)... 2010 Cadet Freestyle national champion (119)... 2011 Junior Freestyle national champion... 2011 FILA Cadet national champion and FILA Cadet World Team member.   While in college wrestling for the Iowa Hawkeyes, Gilman was a three-time All-American and compiled an overall record of 107-12.  His senior year in college he won the 2017 Big Ten championships, placed third at the NCAA Div 1 National Championships, overall record of 32-1 and dual record of 15-0 his senior year... started every dual at 125 pounds... 9-0 in the Big Ten... led Hawkeyes in falls (11) and technical falls (7) 2016 Midlands Champion... named Midlands Outstanding Wrestler Award and was named Champion of Champions... picked up his 100th career win by recording a fall at the Big Ten Championships... won his first 30 matches, a career long, before losing in overtime in the semifinals of the NCAA Championships... spent the entire season ranked No. 1... recorded 15 wins over ranked opponents... was twice named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week... shared the Coaches Appreciation Award and John and Dorothy Sill Award presented to the most dedicated wrestler.   Gilman's favorite quote: “Me, We” ~ Muhammad Ali ___________   For previous episodes- www.warriormindsetpodcast.com   Thank you to our sponsors!
