Giving Back with Coaching

Wrestling For Your Dreams Is Truly Worth It
September 26, 2022
“I just want to say that don’t focus on the wins and losses don’t focus on the gold medals, the silver, or the bronze everything comes in its due time and course. God has a bigger picture for everyone and the most important thing you can focus on is your hard work and dedication. I’m not proud of these medals. I’m proud that I’ve done this the hard and natural way. I never took any banned substances you can win all the medals but if you are cheating I don’t consider you to be a champion. It’s all about integrity, hardwork, discipline, and staying true to yourself. “
