I Never Won Anything By Myself. I

My Coaches Were Great. My Mom And Dad. My Dad Never Missed A Wrestling Meet.

My Advice To Young Wrestlers Is That Your Surroundings Really Make A Difference. You Want To Put Yourself In Good, Positive Surroundings.

A Clean, Hard-fought Wrestling Match Is The Most Honest Of Athletic Contests. There Is No Technological Interventions, No Teammates To Blame, No Panel Of Judges To Bias The Score. In Wrestling, You Compete Or You Quit. No Alibis. I Like That

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.

There Is No Mat Space For Malcontents Or Dissenters. One Must Neither Celebrate Insanely When He Wins, Nor Sulk When He Loses. He Accepts Victory Professionally, Humbly; He Hates Defeat, But Makes No Poor Display Of It.
