My Coaches Were Great. My Mom And

I'm Delighted To Be Back In Coaching. Our Goal Is To Put Iowa Wrestling Back On Top, And I Want To Do Everything I Can To Make It Happen.

More Endearingly Than Any Other Sport, Wrestling Teaches Self Control And Pride.

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.

I Went To College. I Had A Double Major In Biology And Physical Education, But My Major Was Wrestling.

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.
