It's easy to be selfish and focus on what you have to do and what you need to do to accomplish your goals and be like, 'I'll give back later,' but there's no better time than now.

Every year I win, everything I do, it cements my legacy.

That's my job: work hard, win, and inspire.

I think I'm a crossover athlete to get the sport into the mainstream media.

It's been a lot of responsibility to be an ambassador for U.S. wrestling and the sport. It's a tough journey. There's a lot of obligations but also a lot of opportunity.

I think my mental toughness, athleticism, and my physical prowess, I'd be successful if I decided to fight, no matter what.

It's always been a battle for me between personal goals and wanting to be able to share the success I've had with my family. And I guess as I've gotten older, I've kind of realized, you know, you can do all these cool things, but if you don't have people in your life to share it with, what's the point?
