You're listening to episode 87 of the wrestling change my life podcast with Larry Owings.

One of the comments I remember Dan Gable saying was that he felt in the third round,

oddly more tired than he never felt before and I think that was because

I had pushed him further than anybody else had ever pushed him.

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 don't

adversity 100% how to pick myself up and be a man after I failed and everything that is shaped my life and where I'm at today would not be there without the values and

basically the lessons I've learned through 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 wrestle because if you wrestle, natural talent helps, but it's 5% of the ingredient it pales in comparison to heart and

technique and effort. It humbled me about the 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.

If I look back my time, I could at wrestling.

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