Always remember the pain of defeat, and never let it happen again.

Once you've wrestled, everything in life is easy.

I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling.

There's always ways of motivating yourself to higher levels. Write about it, dream about it. But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.

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.

When I'd get tired and want to stop, I'd wonder what my next opponent was doing. I'd wonder if he was still working out. I'd tried to visualize him. When I could see him working, I'd start pushing myself. When I could see him in the shower, I'd push myself harder.

I can take anyone down at anytime; they can't take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.
