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.

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

We, as a wrestling community, better remember it is more than one individual that makes a winner.

But we've got to work. We can't just live on reputations at all - by any means.

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

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

You don't really measure the year until the whole year is done. I'm sure there are some concerned people, including the coaches right now.
