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

When I lifted weights, I didn't lift just to maintain my muscle tone. I lifted to increase what I already had, to push to a new limit. Every time I worked, I was getting a little better. I kept moving that limit back and back. Every time I walked out of the gym, I was a little better than when I walked in.

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

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

Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.

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

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