Trust is a powerful form of leadership.

As a young wrestler, Dan Gable was handed a literal key to West Waterloo High School by Coach Bob Siddens, a gesture that spoke volumes.
Coach Siddens saw Gable’s potential and trusted him to lead by example. That key wasn’t just to the building, it was to responsibility, discipline, and the belief that greatness begins with accountability.

Celebrate the coach who saw what others couldn't. Support the Friends of Bob Siddens Endowment Campaign and help us preserve the legacy of a leader who shaped champions on and off the mat.
