To be a champion you need to act differently then you feel on a regular basis. Don't feel like practicing? Do it anyway! It is totally in your control.

The greats have learned to act differently then they feel. This goes for life too. Don't feel like studying? Do it anyway. Don't feel like going to church this weekend? Do it anyway! Don't feel like being nice to your sister? Do it anyway!

When you have goals and values, you need to act consistently in a way that will get you closer to those goals and reaffirm those values.

Don't feel like it? Do it anyway!

The wrestlers who get the most out of themselves during the break are good at reminding themselves what they love about wrestling (other than winning). They are grateful for the opportunity to train, compete and live the lifestyle of a champion.

Be the 1 in 10 wrestler who focuses on what they love about the sport and the process of improvement. Many wrestlers, even very good ones, will focus on the negatives, make excuses and complain. Rest assure this won't help. Be the wrestler who finds the love in all aspects of wrestling (the training, the grind, the competition, etc.).

When I wrestled at Penn, our coach Zeke Jones sent us an email. He encouraged us to remember that feeling we got when we first fell in love with the sport. Think about that for a minute.
