I've Been A Fanatic About Working Out

We, As A Wrestling Community, Better Remember It Is More Than One Individual That Makes A Winner.

When I'd Get Tired And Want To Stop, I'd Wonder What My Next Opponent Was Doing. I'd Wonder If He Was Still Working Out. I'd Tried To Visualize Him. When I Could See Him Working, I'd Start Pushing Myself. When I Could See Him In The Shower, I'd Push Myself Harder.

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

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.

I Vowed I Wouldn't Ever Let Anyone Destroy Me Again. I Was Going To Work At It Every Day, So Hard That I Would Be The Toughest Guy In The World. By The End Of Practice, I Wanted To Be Physically Tired, To Know That I'd Been Through A Workout. If I Wasn't Tired, I Must Have Cheated Somehow, So I Stayed A Little Longer.
