“More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.”
Dan Gable
“Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”
“Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in that puts you totally in a situation of constant [motion] without breaks. I could play football or baseball, swim -- but there's always some kind of situation that would break my thoughts, break my concentration.”
“Coach Gable is the spokesman for wrestling in the United States and there?s no bigger name in the sport than his, ... It was significant for our program to get the kind of exposure we need to present to the wrestling community not only on the local level but all over the country.”
“For him, his whole life has been wrestling, coaching and teaching, and now he can go back to that.”
Gary Weiss
“Adam wrestles with a lot of heart. When you're wrestling guys that are 30 or 40 pounds heavier than you, you have to wrestle with heart.”
Chopper Mello
“Being named outstanding wrestler talks about his character as well as his wrestling skills. When coaches talk about David, they always talk about what a great person he is first and that means more to me than anything because that's what will take him a long way in life.”
