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

Great wrestlers make other wrestlers great

My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.

There is no mat space for malcontents or dissenters. One must neither celebrate insanely when he wins, nor sulk when he loses. He accepts victory professionally, humbly; he hates defeat, but makes no poor display of it.

I don't think college wrestling is in danger of extinction by any means. But I am concerned if one program drops.

When my wrestlers got their hands raised, I jumped for joy.

If you are afraid to fail, you will never succeed.
