As of 2023...

Sean Bormet is in his sixth season as University of Michigan wrestling head coach after serving seven seasons as Joe McFarland’s top assistant coach. On March 27, 2018, Sean was named the 10th head coach of the Michigan program. 

Named both the Big Ten and NWCA National Coach of the Year in 2022, Sean guided the Wolverines to 48 dual-meet wins over his five seasons at the helm of the Michigan program, captured the 2022 Big Ten championship and boasted three top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships (2019, 2021, 2022). 

Michigan has claimed two NCAA champions in Nick Suriano (125 pounds, 2022) and Mason Parris (Hwt, 2023) and 16 NCAA All-Americans -- plus four NWCA All-Americans during the COVID-canceled 2019-20 season. Parris was also named the 2023 Hodge Trophy winner as the nation's top college wrestler. Sean led Michigan to one of the most successful seasons in the 100-year program history in 2021-22, when the Wolverines posted a 12-1 dual-meet record and the first Big Ten championship since 1973 before claiming runner-up honors at the NCAA Championships. 

 Since returning to his alma mater in 2011, Sean has helped mentor 21 different Wolverine All-Americans to 36 All-America total citations. Michigan has earned top-10 team finishes at each of the last seven NCAA Championships, including four straight top-five finishes (2018-22). 

Sean is a three-time winner of the Terry McCann Award as the USA Wrestling Freestyle Coach of the Year (2006, 2008 and 2010). He has been a personal coach for athletes at seven World Championships and three Olympic Games and has coached World Champions at every age group. Michigan recently boasted three medalists at the 2023 World Championships in Serbia, earning Wolverine alums Stevan Micic and Myles Amine qualification for the 2024 Olympics. Micic is Michigan’s first freestyle world champion, while Amine became the first to claim an Olympic freestyle medal with his 2021 bronze in Tokyo. 

From 2001-2011, as the owner and founder of the Overtime School of Wrestling in Naperville, Sean built the cutting edge training center into the nation's premiere wrestling club, producing numerous champions and All-Americans at all age levels. Alumni of Overtime include World medalists, Olympic and World team members, NCAA champions and All-Americans, USA Wrestling Junior and Cadet national champions and more than 150 state champions. 

Sean was named the 2004 USA Wrestling Developmental Coach of the Year for his achievements with age-group wrestlers and programs. He coached the Illinois Junior Freestyle Team to five dual national titles (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011) and two national freestyle titles in Fargo (2007 and 2010). He has also coached numerous age-group national champions and All-Americans for the Illinois Junior and Cadet freestyle national teams. 

As a Michigan student-athlete (1991-94), Sean was a two-time NCAA All-American at 158 pounds, placing second as a senior (1994) and third as a junior (1993) and a two-time Big Ten champion (1993 and 1994). He posted a 125-21 career record, including a 33-2 mark as a senior, and ranks 13th among Michigan's all-time winningest wrestlers. He accumulated 44 career falls to list fifth on the program's all-time pins list. A two-time team captain, Sean was twice named the Wolverines' Cliff Keen Award winner as the team's most outstanding wrestler. 

In addition to his collegiate success, Sean excelled in freestyle wrestling, placing second at 76kg at the 1999 U.S. Senior Nationals and third at 74kg in 1996. He also took third place at the 1996 Olympic Team Trials and 1999 World Team Trials. While at Michigan, he competed in the 1991 Espoir World Championships after claiming the Espoir national championship at 74kg. He also participated in several international tours, claiming gold medals in Italy (1993), Greece (1996), Montreal (1997) and Poland (1998, 2000). 

 Sean started wrestling at eight years old in 1979 when his dad formed the Frankfort Falcons Wrestling Club. He was a two-time IKWF state champion before heading to Providence Catholic High School (1985-89). There Sean contributed to two undefeated team state championships in his final two seasons and was himself a state champion and a three-time state place winner. He compiled a 184-6 prep record, including a 53-0 senior season with 48 falls -- a mark that still stands as Illinois' state record for most falls in a season.
