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

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, 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, taught 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

mental toughness. Good morning, ladies and gents. It's Ryan with wrestling change my life
