Why do you enjoy wrestling? I quit every other sport I had tried before, but I really clicked with wrestling. What impact has wrestling had on your life and academics? It taught me that you can’t be a basic person if you want to be successful - you have to make sacrifices.

A professional Muay Thai fighter and business owner.
