Steve Goss
As wrestling team captain at CMU, Steve's team logged the most wins in history at that time. He was a US National Champion and qualified for and participated in Olympic trials in 1984, 92, 96, 2000. As a seven time member of Team USA he traveled to events around the world. Steve was also a two time Toughman Contest winner in boxing and kickboxing.
He's also been politically active as a multi-term city commissioner. He has worked in behavior management, family mediator, mental health counselor and a Realtor. He has been a coach for USA Wrestling and the Olympic team and is currently wrestling coach at Bay City Western High and has his own fitness training business.
Noting that there's a lot of fitness knowledge out there, Steve added a few thoughts on the subject. He spoke about food and American eating habits. He used this to illustrate how good habits are as to health as money in the bank is to wealth.
Aerobic activity is one of the best ways to control blood pressure. One of the benefits is that it reduces stress, which business people know too much about. The highest level you can handle is best. Start wherever you are and build from there. If nothing else, just keep moving.
Goss also talked about the amount of meat vs. vegetables in the diet. He related an example from history and WW II. At the time meat was in short supply and as meat intake went down so did heart disease. When meat returned so did heart issues.
Goss also talked about wrestling in the Olympics. Although it's the oldest event in the modern games, there has been a movement to take the sport out of the games. Some of the movement seems politically motivated. The current speculation is that the weight divisions will be changed, and women will be included, but wrestling will continue to be an Olympic event.
