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.

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

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

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

But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.

I'm delighted to be back in coaching. Our goal is to put Iowa wrestling back on top, and I want to do everything I can to make it happen.

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