“ I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win. ”
Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.
~ Dan Gable
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.
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.
