Episode Details

Twelve-year-old bowling phenom Gleason Garske just captured the U12 Junior Gold national title in Minneapolis, coming back from a loss in the first match to win the second and claim the championship. He’s on fire—winning tournaments in quick succession, including one just last week in Oregon—with all his prize money going straight into a college savings account now nearing $50,000. Bowled since age three with family cheering him on, Gleason combines athletic genes (dad played football, grandpa was a tight end) with serious dedication. He plays QB in flag football but avoids tackle to protect his bowling career—and he’s also a basketball star, though bowling is his focus. Training under retired pro Eddie Williams, who helps him manage ADHD, Gleason uses a powerful two-hand release and already has 13 perfect games under his belt. With eyes on his pro debut in 4-5 years, he’s mastering tougher lane conditions and showing no signs of slowing down.
