Your life is a sculpture. Chip away, Every day. J.R. Rim Greatness begins when practice ends. It is not what you do during a scheduled practice which makes you great. It is what you do after one that does. Early in his career, an elite wrestler will realize […]
Understand, achieving great things is measured by the distance from where you started to where you finished.
When you plow through adverse conditions – it is a differentiator.
It is much easier to stay disciplined than it is to get discipline back into your life again.
There is a difference between losing and being beaten.

Thoughts from opening night. The combination of football playoffs overlapping with the start of the wrestling season and December duals with wrestlers not at their postseason weights is a recipe for forfeits. Needs to be corrected. Football playoffs should be completed before the wrestling season starts. And there should only […]
It is the start of the wrestling season and the first rankings of the year have just been released.
And you are not ranked.
What do you do?
“My philosophy was when I walked on the mat I knew that I out trained the guy in front of me and I was going to wear him down no matter what I was doing.”
In the long run, a loss that makes you humble will more beneficial than a win that makes you arrogant.
Mr.Passaro, two weeks ago I told my girlfriend about a book I thought I would like to read. Before I could order it myself she showed up at my apartment and had a surprise for me, it was your book “Every Breath Is Gold, Complete Series.”
I was very appreciative knowing she was thinking of me.
Although I was slightly disappointed because the book I was talking about was “Dominate.”
Twenty minutes ago I just finished the book. It only took me three days to finish it. That might not seem like a hard task for some except I have never read a whole book before in my life.
Your book has opened my eyes to many things.
Most importantly I realized my happiness does not depend on my situation, but what I make of it and what I learn from it.
Secondly, that coincidences in life aren’t meaningless.
This really hit me when I was toward the end of your book and came across the chapter titled “3 am Emails.”
This gave me a chuckle because here I am working the midnight shift in a tire factory and I can’t decide whether I should contact you or not.
The second I had seen the chapter title I knew what it was about and I knew I had to reach out to you. It was no coincidence that she had got me the wrong book, I was meant to read this.
There was a time I was sour about all of my past hardships and I’ve always thought about how different it would be if things went exactly as I hoped.
But now I know every one of them has taught me a lesson and better prepared me for my next obstacle.
I would like to say thank you from a fellow wrestler.
