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.

If we don't progress, we backslide into bad habits, laziness and poor attitude.

I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win.

I've never changed my life since I was 4 and went to the YMCA with a gym bag. I still have that philosophy. In fact, I still have that gym bag.

Talent is everywhere, winning attitude is not.

More endearingly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self control and pride.

If you're afraid to fail, you'll never succeed.
