He served as president of both coaching groups, in the NAIA and in Division III of the NCAA. In the early 70's Myers was chosen to lead a NAIA all-star team on a tour of Japan and Korea, he coached the United States freestyle team in the 1977 World University Games, and served as wrestling team administrator for the U.S. 1979 World University Games team.
