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

My valleys are higher than most people's peaks. I stay at that level.

If you want to train and work hard 3 months out of the year, well, then, UNI is a great place to go. If you want to bust your tail 6 months out of the year, you should be very happy at ISU. But if you want to train and develop into a champion 12 months out of the year, then Iowa is the place for you.

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

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.

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