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.

The obvious goals were there- State Champion, NCAA Champion, Olympic Champion. To get there I had to set an everyday goal which was to push myself to exhaustion or, in other words, to work so hard in practice that someone would have to carry me off the mat.

If you want to train and work hard 3 months out of the year, well, then, UNI is a great place to go. If you want to bust your tail 6 months out of the year, you should be very happy at ISU. But if you want to train and develop into a champion 12 months out of the year, then Iowa is the place for you.

I don't think college wrestling is in danger of extinction by any means. But I am concerned if one program drops.

Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.

There's nothing like success.

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.
