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

Pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit. Give everything you got today for tomorrow may never come.

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

Talent is everywhere, winning attitude is not.

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

Wrestling has been a way of life with me day in and day out. I won't get too far away from it. I might walk through the wrestling room once a week. I could go every day if I wanted. But just walk through, make sure it's still there.

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.
