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.

Great wrestlers make other wrestlers great

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

My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.

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

Determination is the strength needed to succeed.

I can take anyone down at anytime; they can't take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.
