My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

Wrestling... what men do during boys basketball season.

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.

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.

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

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

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