And so I really had to lean on my coaches and my teammates there to get better and get better fast . Everybody struggles with a little bit of adversity , um , and you just got to push through it , you know , whether it be injuries or off the mat stuff , whatever it may be , um , trust that it's all , it's all planned out . It's all gonna work out .
Yeah , some wrestling specific things that I like to focus on is just to control what you can control , um , get to positions you're good at , and , uh , be in good shape . I think some challenges I faced in wrestling is just jumping levels . Uh , the jump from high school to Division 1 and the Big 10 , uh , it's a big jump .
Um , those are the things you can control , control the controllables . It's tough . Um .
It was an amazing school , obviously . I wanted to go somewhere that pushed me academically and on the mat . Uh , Big 10 is an amazing conference .
And I love the people here . I think just pushing each other , um , having that grit , and , um , the , the team aspect of the sport . A lot of people think wrestling is an individual sport , but without your teammates , without everybody pushing you each day , Um , tasing each other , you know , pushing that wall back , uh , you can't do it .
