Welcome to the show folks. This is wrestling changed my life. Here we go.

I know there's a famous quote by Dan Gable after wrestling everything else is easy.

I would actually strongly disagree with that.

Yeah, totally. I mean wrestling is tough. It's very, very tough. But med school is tough to do. It's a different it's a different animal

It pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

It humbled me.

Thought me humility. Nothing can humble you more than wrestling.

I think it's the learning to adapt right you learn you learn how to
