He had something in him that night. I saw his eyes. I felt sorry for Roerich. |
I could see him struggling to make 130. Why be a senior and go through that? When you're as good as him, you can go anywhere. Why kill yourself your senior year when you've been doing that most of your life. |
I think it was maturity. He came from a good USA background as far as wrestling. |
I'm very happy. I wanted 11 and we were one short of our goal. Of the 10 that are going, seven of them are coming back next year. The young kids will get to have some fun. |
If you get your mind to do it the way you want, you're going to be successful. Like any kind of game, it's mental. |
In John's case he has lost (before). I think he just wants to win a state title. |
It's going to be hard to let him go. You get used to the hard work all the stuff he does. His dad took him to everything when he was young and now he's going for a second state title. |
Second just doesn't cut when you've wrestled long enough. It's a tough thing to swallow when you work your butt of. |
They're going to beef him up. They're going to tune up his skills and as far as focus, they won't have a problem. |
You can't take it home with you. When my son was wrestling, we never talked about it at the dinner table. You do it in the practice room where it matters. Kenny's a good assistant coach. It can work for you if you do it right. |
You have to work to be king, because someone out there wants to take it away from you. He strives to be the best wrestler. His attitude is keep going and don't quit. |
