I'm delighted to be back in coaching. Our goal is to put Iowa wrestling back on top, and I want to do everything I can to make it happen.

Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.

Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.

Wrestling has been a way of life with me day in and day out. I won't get too far away from it. I might walk through the wrestling room once a week. I could go every day if I wanted. But just walk through, make sure it's still there.

If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.

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

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