Dan Gable

Here are some good quotes from Dan Gable:

"Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose."

“All I worried about was what (Owings) was doing to me, instead of what I was doing to him. When you start worrying about that stuff, you're going down the wrong path.”

Dan Gable lost only one match (in college) to Larry Owings in the NCAA Finals of his senior year at Iowa State. Watch it on flowrestling here. Dan Gable often talks about how this loss later helped him become an Olympic and World Champion in wrestling. Watch this interview about it here.

Working Hard

I read a quote the other day in one of my classes. I am not sure who it was from but it went something like this:
"Do today what others won't, so you can do tomorrow what others can't."
