Hard work isn't the whole thing either. It's working hard, but working smart at the same time, going to every single practice trying to improve on something. |
I feel like I can go with anybody in the country, but at the same time there's so many tough guys in the weight class that anything can happen; it's just who worked the hardest during the season and who wants it the most in the national tournament. Somebody could run through the (NCAA) tournament killing everybody, but I don't think that's going to happen. |
I felt pretty relaxed and pretty focused at the same time. The first round I got off to a slow start, so it was nice to get that out of my system. |
I realize I'm right there with everyone else, but at the same time I need a little extra effort to get those wins. I think they're starting to come now and they'll continue at the NCAA Championships. |
I've worked pretty (darn) hard, so I'm going to have confidence going in. I don't worry about what other people think. They've never been in my situation, they've never gone through things I've gone through. |
