The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.

I’m a big believer in starting with high standards and raising them. We make progress only when we push ourselves to the highest level. If we don’t progress, we backslide into bad habits, laziness and poor attitude.

My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.

Pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit. Give everything you got today for tomorrow may never come.

Greatness in the mat is achieved through training that make you push to survive.

A clean, hard-fought wrestling match is the most honest of athletic contests. There is no technological interventions, no teammates to blame, no panel of judges to bias the score. In wrestling, you compete or you quit. No alibis. I like that

But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.
