Yeah, I think I only came in 4th in the State my senior year. I didn't really hit my stride until I got in the NCAA. That's one of the reasons I encourage you to keep on keepin' on. You may not be done getting better. As a freshman in college I quietly made myself the hardest working man in the room and paid my dues. After that, I can't tell you how many high school heroes walked into the wrestling room as freshmen and just got humiliated. It was actually an enjoyable event when someone who was a world-beater in high school turned up for the first day thinking he was something. Of course, every once in a while there is some freak of nature who is just an unstoppable force from day one, but I didn't wrestle for Iowa where those monsters usually turned up so the rule generally held. The point is, don't stop now 'cause the best may lie ahead!
