The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.

My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

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

Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.

My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.

More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.
