He talked to me after a workout and he said,

what can I do to make sure that I'm going to be the Olympic champion?

I said, do something that nobody else is doing after every practice. We can endure anything, and adapt and pivot and change.

Wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say nothing in life has impacted me more than 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 where 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 saved 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 ingredient. 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 adapt, you learn how to solve problems.

You know, if I look back at my time, that's good wrestling.

If they gave me one thing more than anything else, it's not the toughness.
