The thing about Champions is that they succeed in spite of circumstances. A lot of people can give you reasons why you can't do something but not as many can ever, or will ever give you reasons why you can. Coaches are usually the ones that can tell you why you can. People told Mark Cody that he wouldn't win at American University, Brian Smith was told the same thing at Mizzou, Tom Ryan at Hofstra, J Robinson at UM. But they didn't listen. Who would have ever thought that some of those programs would become as great as they have?
The moral of this is NO ONE! NO ONE, has a corner on the market when it comes to achievement. Each year we see champions crowned who know one would think could win. I am excited by the guys that have committed to us here at Central because they all believe in themselves and believe that we can win!
People thought Dan Gable would never lose. People thought no one could stop Iowa from winning TEN NCAA Championships in a row, no one thought Rulon Gardner could beat Karelin and in the end.... The truth came out, No one, No one owns success. There were times people thought Ford would always be the world's largest auto maker, IBM would be the only computer company, and Lance Armstrong would never recover from cancer.
Seeing this every year is exciting to me because I have thought that we can win at Central since I came to interview and I want to start winning soon.
Here are the highlights of the last two NCAA tournaments, look at how many top seeds go down, look at the matches that are won by the guys that want it more. That is the fire and desire I love to see on the mat and it is an important key to winning!

Just to illustrate my point that no one owns achievement
