About Steve
Early Career
On Steve's way to becoming an Olympic Champion, Steve was a two-time All-American wrestler and Big Ten finalist for the University of Michigan, where he won awards for outstanding scholastic and athletic achievement. After graduation, while employed as a deputy in the Washtenaw County sheriff’s department in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Steve earned a number of national and international wrestling titles before winning his gold medal in the 1984 Olympics.
After winning the Gold in the Los Angeles Games Steve joined Domino's Pizza where he had a ten year career helping the pizza giant grow to the second largest pizza chain in the world. In his time with Domino's Steve had a variety of roles including directing 65 corporate pizza stores in Michigan and Ohio, running a "turn around team" assigned to fix problem/struggling markets, creating Tom Monaghan's (Domino's owner/founder) most elite flagship stores in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as well as other roles.
Then, in 1995 USA Wrestling approached Steve with the opportunity to come back to the sport he loved as the National Olympic Greco-Roman Coach for Team USA.
Coaching
Beginning in 1995 - and for almost 19 years - Steve impacted the sport of wrestling by serving as the National Olympic Greco-Roman Coach for USA Wrestling where he was responsible for working with the U.S. National Team and resident athletes at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. Steve was responsible for coordinating the coaching efforts at the Olympic Games, Pan American Games, World Championships, and all other major wrestling events. He was responsible for the entire Greco-Roman program at all age levels for the USA.
Steve helped lead the United States to its best Olympic performance ever, winning gold, silver and bronze medals at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. In the Gold Medal match he guided Rulon Gardner to his spectacular upset victory over the seemingly invincible Russian superstar, Alexander Karelin, who had not been beaten in thirteen years. Still today this victory is considered one of the biggest upsets in sports world history!
Then in 2007 Steve shocked the entire world by leading the U.S. Team to its first ever World Championship Team title in Baku, Azerbaijan! This was an incredible feat most thought impossible. Steve is credited for winning 27 world and Olympic medals combined during his tenure as National Olympic Coach. This result includes eight Olympic medalists, three individual World champions, one world team title and two bronze team finishes.
Steve Now
Steve recently retired from USA Wrestling after 27 successful years of service as the National Olympic Coach (19 years) and their Chief of Donor & Alumni Relations (8 years).
He recently has joined up with his alma-mater, The University of Michigan where he is their Chief of Donor & Alumni Relations consultant for the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club (CKWC). Steve is assisting in fundraising for the club. The much needed support goes directly to helping Olympic hopefuls achieve their lofty Olympic and World Championship dreams.
Among the athletes includes such notables as:
J'Den Cox (3X NCAA Champ, World Champ & Olympic Bronze medal),
Myles Amine (Olympic Bronze, 5X NCAA All-American & 2X Big Ten Champ),
Alex Dieringer (3X NCAA Champ, US National Champ),
Adam Coon (World Silver medal), and
Mason Parris (NCAA Champ & JR World Champ)
- to name just a few of the CKWC athletes. Steve also continues to do Speaking Engagements and Toughness Workshops across the country. His popular book, "Victory! Mental Toughness On & Off the Mat" continues to inspire, motivate and entertain people not just in the wrestling world, but the general public too. And Steve's professionally produced, "Fraser's Edge Instructional DVD's" continue to teach wrestlers, coaches, and mixed martial artists the techniques that actually win in wrestling and/or combat sports.
What they say about Steve
The late, Bo Schembechler, Athletic Director/Head Football Coach, University of Michigan…”Steve demonstrated the personal qualities that made him the kind of man who speaks well for corporate America—hard working, devoted, caring. He makes us all remember that dreams are meant to come true, if the dreams are accompanied by a lot of hard work.”
Dan Gable, Olympic Champion/three time Olympic Coach… "I could see from the beginning, when I watched Steve in college, he had the right attitude to be in top flight competition. It’s that kind of attitude that makes him a winner in everything he goes after."
Tom Eastman, Ford Motor Company…"As an Olympic gold medal winner, Steve Fraser proved to be an inspirational and unique motivational speaker at Ford Motor Company’s National Technical Competitions.”
Tom Monaghan, Founder, Former Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer, Domino's Pizza…"Steve proved himself a valuable team member in our quest to build successful pizza stores across the U.S. So valuable I awarded him three Rolex Watches (one gold, one gold/silver & one silver) for his results. In Steve's role as a Domino’s Pizza spokesperson, before both our own corporate people and the general public, he presented a picture of honest, down-to-earth hard work combined with an entrepreneurial spirit that is the Domino’s story. The many letters of testimony and words of praise I have heard about his speaking prove that he is the genuine article and a credit to Domino’s Pizza.”
