“I'd lifted weights for a while even though I was still young and I figured I could beat him up. We had wrestled once before and he really couldn't do anything to me, so I'm coming out of the gym and see him and figure I could take him.”
“That was tough, but it just made me work that much harder in the off-season. This was my last chance to go and I wasn't going to let it slip away. Now that I'm going I know anything can happen.”
“Sometimes I think about what it would have been like if I had wrestled all my life. But I'm basically new to it and I've already come so far. If I were a coach I'd take a chance on a kid like that. If a coach takes that chance on me I'm not going to let them down.”
