Zitat des Tages von Dan Gable:
My valleys are higher than most people's peaks. I stay at that level.
My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.
More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.
When my wrestlers got their hands raised, I jumped for joy.
If you're going to stay in the Olympics, you've got to be entertaining and get sponsorship.
My advice to young wrestlers is that your surroundings really make a difference. You want to put yourself in good, positive surroundings.
Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.
Many of those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom have come through the wrestling ranks. We need to honor them and win this decision to have wrestling - the world's oldest sport - remain a part of the most prestigious athletic competition in the world, the Olympics.
Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.
There's always ways of motivating yourself to higher levels. Write about it, dream about it. But after that, turn it into action. Don't just dream.
We, as a wrestling community, better remember it is more than one individual that makes a winner.
I shoot, I score. He shoots, I score.
The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.
Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.
My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.
The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
