Ken Chertow is an American Olympian wrestler who participated in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea,[1] and currently conducts wrestling camps across the United States. He serves as a mentor for thousands of young wrestlers whom he coaches in his clinics, camps and Home Training Center in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. In March 2017, he was named head coach of the just-established wrestling program at Queen's University of Charlotte[2].

Career

Chertow has found success at all levels of competition, both as a competitor and a coach. After winning two West Virginia High School State Championships at Huntington High School (West Virginia)[3] and Outstanding Wrestler Awards, he culminated his prep career by winning Junior Nationals in both freestyle and Greco and the Junior World Championship.

Education

While studying and training at Penn State, Chertow was a 3x NCAA All-American,[4] World Espoir Champion, Pan American Champion and 1988 U.S. Olympian.

Chertow also excelled in the classroom as he became a 3X Academic All-American, graduating with a 3.6 GPA.

Chertow is also a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi.[5]

Camps

Chertow conducted summer day camps throughout college and started the Gold Medal Training System upon graduation from Penn State in 1989. During Chertow's first five years conducting camps, he also coached at Ohio State and Penn State. During his three years at Ohio State, he helped build the Buckeyes into a national powerhouse. Ohio State finished 4th and 5th in the 1991 and 1992 NCAA Championships, respectively, the program's 2nd and 3rd best finishes in school history (with the exception of 2008, 2009, and 2017 when Ohio State place 2nd; the Buckeyes ultimately finished 1st in 2015).

Coaching

He returned to Penn State in 1992 and joined the Nittany Lion Coaching Staff. Chertow's team won the National Dual Meet Championship and was 2nd in the NCAA Championships, PSU's best finish since 1953.

In 1994, Chertow left college coaching to focus his time and energy on helping young people through his local wrestling school and to devote more time to developing his camp system. Many of Chertow's wrestlers have excelled, winning State & National Championships.

His dedication and skills, coupled with his commitment to surrounding his campers with the best possible staff in the nation, has made the Gold Medal Training Camp the most highly organized and successful camp system in the nation.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} Chertow's summer camp draws and develops many champions. From 1998-2010, high school campers won 500+ State Championships, while younger campers won well over 250 AAU, NHSCA, & USA National Championships.

Chertow conducts clinics throughout the country, has produced a series of instructional videos, and is the broadcast analyst for College Sports Television (CSTV) and the Big Ten Network (BTN).[6]
