My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

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

The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.

If you are afraid to fail, you will never succeed.

Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.

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

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
