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.

wrestling. If it gave me one thing more than anything else, it's a
