Some wise inspirational words from the legendary Wade Schalles! "I had learned that challenges—no matter the size—were just repetitions of earlier battles. Once you understand how to win, once you've proven it to yourself, the rest becomes repeated execution. I’ve often wondered what people really mean when they talk about success. If you ask someone who’s financially successful what their breakthrough was, chances are they’ll say something like, “Making my first million.” That’s the pivot point. Because after that, knowing that they had the formula, it was no longer a question of if. Just how many times could they repeat it. Wrestling teaches that. It lays the foundation. You don’t win because things get easier—you win because you’ve learned how to respond. That’s why I believe wrestling is one of the greatest tools we can give our children. It’s not just a sport. It’s a blueprint for how to handle adversity, how to recover, how to stand your ground when life tries to pin you. And once they’ve done it once, they’ll know they can do it again." (fb)
