My Valleys Are Higher Than

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.

A Clean, Hard-fought Wrestling Match Is The Most Honest Of Athletic Contests. There Is No Technological Interventions, No Teammates To Blame, No Panel Of Judges To Bias The Score. In Wrestling, You Compete Or You Quit. No Alibis. I Like That

More Enduringly Than Any Other Sport, Wrestling Teaches Self-control And Pride. Some Have Wrestled Without Great Skill - None Have Wrestled Without Pride.

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

But We've Got To Work. We Can't Just Live On Reputations At All - By Any Means.
