That was kind of a turning point for him. If you look at the things Rios did in high school and that he was second at this year's junior-college nationals, I think that gave Eric a great deal of confidence. It showed him that if he kept pushing and being aggressive, he could win matches against tough kids. |
The experience is a plus, but what we're really impressed with is his character and personality. We think he'll be a great mentor to our kids and to our young coaching staff. |
