We train for the postseason, but we knew we had to do this.
The last two years I've gone to (West's) summer open mats and coach Nicola has helped me out a lot. I knew I'd have some good workout partners at West and it's actually a lot better fit for me here academically. The past two years I've cut more weight than I should have. I'm more tall and lean but I'm mostly muscle and I have more energy not cutting so much.
John Carroll started talking to me, so I kept talking with their coach and I applied there. The coach said, 'I want you over here next year.' It's a smaller program with high academics and a good wrestling program. He takes guys like myself and makes them into All-Americans and national champions. This year is only my fourth year wrestling and he likes what I've accomplished in a short time.
