One of the most influential figures in wrestling history passed on March 29, 2026. J Robinson competed for Oklahoma State and qualified for the 1972 Olympic Greco team before a legendary coaching career.
Robinson was an assistant under Gary Kurdelmeier and Dan Gable (1972-84) at the University of Iowa before leading Minnesota to NCAA team titles in 2001, 2002, and 2007. The Golden Gophers were the first team outside Iowa or Oklahoma to win multiple D1 NCAA titles in men’s wrestling.
J Robinson was an Army Ranger in Vietnam, a Greco 1972 Olympian, Gable's assistant at Iowa for 9 titles, built Minnesota into a power winning 3 titles, and his camps were the best in the country (earn a shirt).
A legend that you can't write the history of wrestling without.
The J Robinson wrestling camps changed my life. Totally changed my perspective on life and increased my metal toughness to a level I didn’t think I had in me. I don’t wrestle in college and get the experiences in life I got to have without that camp. Thank you coach and rest easy
Pretty cool note I got from a tech CEO/founder who watched NCAAs about hiring wrestlers:
“I'll say this: without question my favorite hiring profile is a D3 All-American wrestler. You competed in the darkness. No lights, no crowd, sometimes literally no one watching. You showed up anyway and you figured it out. Give me 10 of those guys and they're worth 50 fancy Ivy League degrees. Every time. The mat doesn't lie.”
Thoughts?
It's one of one. Doesn't mean the wrestlers at the Worlds or Olympics aren't more skilled, just that folkstyle wrestling over 3 days in this atmosphere at the highest level at the end of the season is something that provides a challenge unlike anything else in the world. ❤️💪
Its that time of year again, when a significant portion of the toughest people on earth all gather together in one place, also known as the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships.
