he got that psycho winning mentality like all the greats have, hope kid stays healthy so we can see his full potential.

2 parents who were basically Olympic level judokas... so dude is legit a genetic freak for grappling sports

Marinelli: “The only way anyone beats Spencer is he gets hurt or slams a guy” Spencer: tears his ACL and still runs through the NCAA tournament. He really is something special.

Wrestled with him at a camp. Feels like he’s 300lbs

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..😂😂😂😂

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

The medal hanging on the back of his door so whenever he closes it, he hears it bang and remembers the loss is one way to get motivated. Wow.

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.

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

can’t believe they didn’t mention that it was NICK SURIANO that he beat his freshman year

It's almost like college wrestling is no big deal to him. He is actually so much bigger than college wrestling.

If there was a wrestling video game Spencer Lee would be an unlockable character and his overall would be super high

Spencer Lee is a once in a generation talent! Best lightweight wrestler thus far. Can go down as the GOAT if he brings home an Olympic Gold 💯

2 greatest things to ever happen for Iowa wrestling: Dan Gable and Spencer Lee.

It's gonna be a clean sweep for him this year

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.

Guy just pinned Foley in 24 seconds lol

If it wasnt for covid he would be a 4× national champ

Suriano and Spencer were supposed to wrestler for the ncaa title this year (in an ncaa finals rematch). Would of been nuts.

Question: Can anyone stop Spencer Lee? Answer: Yes. Spencer Lee.

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

Nick and Spencer are iconic rivals

Great wrestler even better dude. Not an Iowa fan but I hope he sweeps the nation

This guy is something special. What a great young man. ACL is no joke.

Love watching Spencer wrestle. Always waiting for new videos.

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.

I still thought that him running out to the Pokémon theme song was pretty cool

That’s amazing both parents high level grapplers.

Love his mentality

What a great athlete, and what a great mom and dad.

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 don’t know why, but I have watched this over 5 times, this is amazing for workouts like running on the treadmill

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.

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...

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

This is my favorite video of 2021 so far!

Very nice documentary of Spencer Lee. Good luck with the Big Ten and NCAA championships this year.

13:45 my sound goes out and it’s not my phone. Anyone else have this happen?

Spencer Lee is Absolutely AMAZING and will bring the 🇺🇸 Gold one day

His drive from such a young age is amazing.

is there no audio around 4:30 ?

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 !

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.

Good luck young Man look forward to seeing how big and bright your future is !

Bro the support from his parents 🔥

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.

ive watched this so many times and im about to do it again.

Class act Spencer. You are a honor to watch wrestle, and you seem very humbly drive.

Not only is Spencer Lee is the best but his parents are thee most supportive parents ever. That's love

That was fantastic.

Lol Terry climbing on that guy

oh my god i can't wait for season

Great video. Thank you

Outstanding!

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 such good content.

He’s the best lower weight guy I’ve ever seen. And by far.

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.

I feel like he fits so well with the Brands brothers!

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.

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.

“If I want to be a world champion I can’t lose here”🙌

i live like 40 minutes away from Spencer's hometown and i want to meet him more then anything

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.

It’s crazy that he is 5’3

Spencer Freakin Lee Rules

wow good story! thx from a dan gable fan from wisconsin

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!

Would love to see this dude in the octagon

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!!!

The fact that he threw his second place medal away shows what kind of competitor he really is deep down inside.

I love this video!

This got me hype

Greatest of all time and I ain’t scared to say it.

this has potential to be an awesome movie..

“I want you to know I wouldn’t do a thing differently.”

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

the thomasello match was a horrific eye opener for me as i had wrestled him my sophemore year and the dude was so strong it was unreal

gota love spencers heart what a winner!!!

I've seen spencer wrestle for a while. I would be at a wrestling tournament and he was much younger, known for always winning.

Allow me to answer your question without having viewed the video: Q: Can anyone stop Spencer Lee? A: Not without nuclear assistance.

Go for it bro. I was born in Iowa. We would be the same weight class! GO HAWKS! 😎👊

dude sagertown PA is in my district that’s crazy! i go to youngsville middle highschool in district 10

Got to love PA wrestling, it's some of the best in the US.

"He's not just a great wrestler, he's.. he's above great wrestler" -Michael Kemerer

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.

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

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 🐐

He’s like the Kobe Bryant of wrestling

Great great Story!

I like the Iowa Hawkeyes and he’s my favorite wrestling player

This is really made well.

Spencer is a monster. Most unstoppable on top than I’ve ever seen. Go Pokes!!! 😬

Matt Ramos can…

Spencer Lee is an inspiration

Anterior C. Ligament II was able to stop him.

People be joking about being built different this man is really built different

Where can I find the tshirt that Marinelli is wearing? I want to purchase one.
