There's nothing like success.

My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

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.

When my wrestlers got their hands raised, I jumped for joy.

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

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.

My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.
