Alan Fried was there at 42. Pat was at 58. Branch was at 67. And J.J. McGrew was at 90.

So like, I'm the fresh kid on the block, right? I didn't score like the first month, month,

and a half like I didn't score.

We can endure anything and adapt and pivot and change. Wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say nothing in life has impacted me or the things wrestling has taught me in terms of

self-reflection, resilience, toughness. Some guys have it, some guys don't.

Adversity, 100%, how to pick myself up and be a man after I failed.

And everything that has shaped my life and what I'm at today would not be there without the values

and basically the lessons I've learned to the sport of wrestling. For me wrestling saying

my life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestled because if you wrestled, natural talent helps.

But it's 5% of the ingredients. It pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

It humbled me, taught me humility. Nothing can humble you more than wrestling.

I think it's the learning to adapt, right? You learn how to adapt. You learn how to solve problems.

You know, probably back in my time that's good wrestling if you did me one thing more than

anything else that's toughness. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Wrestling Change My Life
