Clarissa Chun, iowawomenswrestling's coach, has spent most of her life in the spotlight, an elite athlete in a 30-foot circle, learning to build faith and confidence as deliberately as she built muscle. Learning, too, that her biggest opponent was often herself.

chunk48 is already an Olympic bronze medalist, a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee and now one of USA Today’s Women of the Year.

Shouldering the high expectations of a sport, a school and even a gender while still navigating the unknowns of a brand-new role can be, well, overwhelming. But Chun is clear-eyed about why she uprooted her life and took this chance.
