You can't ever work too much because there's no such thing as being in too good condition. You can't ever lift too many weights because you can't ever get too strong. You can't ever wrestle too much because you can always do better.

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

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

Talent is everywhere, winning attitude is not.

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.

My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

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