Determination is the strength needed to succeed.

Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.

Freedom across the world is a result of many individuals working together.

You can't ever work too much because there's no such thing as being in too good condition. You can't ever lift too many weights because you can't ever get too strong. You can't ever wrestle too much because you can always do better.

Great wrestlers make other wrestlers great

The obvious goals were there- State Champion, NCAA Champion, Olympic Champion. To get there I had to set an everyday goal which was to push myself to exhaustion or, in other words, to work so hard in practice that someone would have to carry me off the mat.

If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.
