Anyone can wrestle until they are tired.
Wrestlers Compete as Individuals, Yet the Sport Builds Comradery Like No Other.
I'm introduced today as Iowa State's wrestling coach because of the selfless sacrifices of my college coach, Bobby Douglas. I promise to work as hard as I did as a competitor to build upon the traditions I've inherited as head coach. Iowa State University is a special place to our family. I'm humbled and excited at the same time about my opportunity.
This is a chance to make a statement to the nation about where we stand as a program. We have young talent and successful alumni and this is a platform to get more experience.
I love Bobby Douglas. When you think of wrestling, you think of Coach Douglas.
Unless you continually work, evolve, and innovate, you'll learn a quick and painful lesson from someone who has.
There will be many challenges ahead, and I'm looking forward to them.
