Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.
From Dan Gable
My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.
Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.
The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.
I don't think college wrestling is in danger of extinction by any means. But I am concerned if one program drops.
