I never won anything by myself. I was always strong because of help that gave me extra strength to win.

The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.

I'm not going to get too greedy. I won the one I wanted to win. If I don't win any more races, but win the championship, I'd be really happy with that. At the same time, that's not my style. I like to win.

My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.

My mind's never gone very far away from what I wanted to accomplish.

A lot of my intensity in wrestling was due to my mental preparation before the matches. I got myself into a different world.
