Ilia vs Conor, quote for quote.
Ilia: ���If someone did it, I can also do it, and if no one did it, I can be the first one to do it.”
Conor: “If you can see it here [pointing to his head] and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen.”
Ilia: “A dream is not what you see in your sleep. A dream is what keeps you awake.”
Conor: “Doubt is only removed by action. If you're not working then that's where doubt comes in.”
Ilia: “Nobody was born a champion. Champions are made in the dark, when nobody is watching.”
Conor: “There’s no talent here, this is hard work. This is an obsession. Talent does not exist, we are all equal as human beings.”
🗣️ "The women's pick, the men's regret!"
#OnThisDay in 2013: The legend @ChaelSonnen didn't miss a beat with this call-out of Wanderlei Silva 🤣

If your youth wrestling coach is cursing at your athletes, you need to find a new room.
I just spent a few days at Oklahoma State, one of the most talented rooms in college wrestling. I didn’t hear a single curse word delivered by leadership during practice.
The best coaches in the country, coaching the best athletes in the country — with the most on the line.
Now ask yourself, if the best coaches aren’t using that type of language with 20-year-olds, does it make sense to use it when addressing your 10-year-old sons and daughters?
Negative energy is contagious, and so is the language. It’s tough to build someone up while belittling them at the same time. If you want your kids to be empowered, allow them to be led by coaches in control of their own emotions.
Treat your wrestlers with dignity, and you get the most from them.
Foul language has no place in youth sports.
