Robert “Bob” Molle (born September 23, 1962) is a Canadian author, speaker and former Olympic freestyle wrestler and professional Canadian Football League (CFL) player.
After finishing high school in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Molle attended Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. At 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and 275 pounds (125 kg), he joined both the wrestling team and the football team at SFU, and quickly became a standout in both sports.
He was selected to represent Canada at the 1984 Summer Olympics, but suffered a back injury shortly before the tournament that nearly ended his career. Nonetheless, only 18 days after surgery, Molle won a silver medal for Canada as a Super Heavyweight wrestler at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.[1] American wrestler Bruce Baumgartner defeated Molle to win the gold medal. He was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers with the ninth overall pick of the 1985 CFL Draft. On November 27, 1988, he hoisted a Grey Cup as a member of the Blue Bombers' offensive line. He won another Grey Cup in 1990 and eventually became a captain of the Blue Bombers. On September 25, 2016, he was inducted into the Blue Bombers Hall of Fame. Bob is also a member of the Simon Fraser University Hall of Fame (1990), the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) Hall of Fame (1991), the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame (1992), the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame (1993) and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame (1995).[2]
Since his sports career, Molle has broken away from the World of athleticism to write a book — ‘Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable’. – that he has since parlayed into a career as a motivational speaker which takes him all over North and Central America.[3] Bob's passion for mentorship, coaching and making a 'change' in the lives of others, is his passion. Companies such as SkipTheDishes have hired him to change their culture, as reported by co-founder Jeff Adamson "Bob single handedly turned the Skip culture around at a critical time".
