Maintain
a High Level of Excellence
Lloyd 'Butch' Keaser shares his techniques to overcome the
most difficult challenge of a champion: 'Staying on Top'..
Butch was considered to be the top wrestler in the United
States during his four year international career. The climb
to the top was an exhilarating experience. However, once
on top he found it was tougher being the one that his competitors
viewed their match with him as being their national championship.
Everyone raised his game when competing against him. There
was no one for Butch to look to at the top as he was that
individual. He employed techniques shared by some of his
heroes to maintain a high level of excellence at the world
class level and his status as 'the one to beat'. Listen
as he shares those same techniques that have worked for
his professional life as well.
Teamwork
is Critical to Success
Experience the importance of teamwork in achieving the highest
level of success through memorable and heart-felt stories.
Butch participated for years in the team sports of soccer,
baseball, and basketball. He was drawn to the sport of wrestling
because it is recognized as an individual sport. The thought
of being solely accountable for his failure or success was
exciting to him. Yet as his wrestling career developed it
became increasingly apparent that wrestling was a team sport
and that teamwork was critical to his success. That realization
has enabled him to experience a high level of success in
both individual and teamwork activities beyond his wrestling
career. He illustrates this by sharing how he would not
have not won a gold medal in the World Cup or World Championship
without the help of a young boy and his wife, both unlikely
teammates.

at the world championship and later in his career a Silver
Medal at the Olympics.
