I Never Won Anything By Myself. I

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.

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.

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.

My Mind's Never Gone Very Far Away From What I Wanted To Accomplish.

Wrestling... What Men Do During Boys Basketball Season.
