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.

Determination is the strength needed to succeed.

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.

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

There is no mat space for malcontents or dissenters.

Once you've wrestled, everything in life is easy.

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