Lee Kemp, a four-time NCAA Division I National wrestling finalist, a four-time World Cup Champion and U.S. Olympic freestyle wrestler, will host a series of videos aimed at developing young wrestlers.

"Helping you to have 'Your Greatest Season,'" the decorated wrestler said in his April 8 Facebook post

The video series reportedly describes how Kemp went from an average high school wrestler to an undefeated state champion within a year, including the "psychological components of not only how to become successful, but how to stay successful."

The series includes 16 videos along with worksheets to follow the entire wrestling season, training, nutrition and technique tips, philosophies and conditioning plans.

"These videos aren't boring lectures on theory," Kemp said. "They are the techniques and training tips that I have used to become a winner, and these same techniques will work for you regardless of your age or skill level."

The 16-week video series is $199 and can be viewed here.

Kemp is a three-time world champion. He made the U.S. 1980 Olympic team for freestyle wrestling, but due to the U.S. boycott of the summer games, he did not get to compete. Despite missing out on the prestigious opportunity, he was a freestyle coach for the U.S. 2008 team that competed in the Beijing Olympics. 

A feature-length documentary was made about Kemp's story called "Wrestled Away: The Lee Kemp Story." 

"In 1980, Kemp was widely regarded as the greatest in his sport — and one of the greatest ever — when he lost his shot at certain Olympic Gold, and its accompanying acclaim, because of the U.S. decision to boycott the Summer Olympics in Moscow," according to the website Horizons website
