I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling.

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

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