“…Anyway, personal challenges of that degree. Personal challenges that you alone accept, and are willing to carry out in a public arena in front of friends and foes alike, can often times be the precise moment when an athlete will “jump levels” (to use your John Smith quote, flowrestling.com). The confidence that can be gained from a single instance of excellence is immeasurable. I have seen it over and over in my 23 years of wrestling. And I look forward to seeing it and hearing it about you this winter. Stay healthy, stay strong, stay focused. NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP!”
-Sean Harrington, legendary Mass wrestler
