    "I want to use this film to inspire the next generation of wrestlers and give back to the sport I love," said Patrick Hadley, "Four for Four" producer.

    "Four for Four" focuses on Kyle Dake -- the first four-time NCAA Division I champ to win titles in four different weight classes in four straight years -- following him through his senior season at Cornell University, culminating at the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Des Moines.

    The documentary provides wrestling fans with an all-access view of Dake's journey on his way to his place in the history books, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the upstate New York native in training sessions, in the weight room, hotel rooms, and in actual matches, taking the viewer from the first wrestling practice at Cornell to that epic 165-pound title match vs. Penn State's David Taylor at the 2013 NCAAs.

    The 44-minute documentary, directed by Greg Accetta, with story editor John Courtmanche, is available online for $6.99, or for rent for $4.99, with $2 donated to USA Wrestling, the national governing body for the sport of amateur wrestling, affiliated with the United States Olympic Committee. With nearly a quarter-million members -- athletes, coaches, officials, family members and fans -- USA Wrestling charters over 4,500 wrestling clubs and sanctions over 2,100 local, state, regional and national competitions.
