30 Years Ago Today🏅
It’s hard to believe that it’s been three decades since I stood on that podium, proudly winning the Gold Medal against Abbas Jadidi. Coming from humble I grew up a laborer’s son from Dormont Pittsburgh, I never imagined my dreams would ever come true.
This journey has taught me that discipline beats excuses every time. All you need is a dream, and anything is possible. I didn’t just represent my hometown and my college, I proudly wore the colors of the United States of America on my heart, driven by blood, sweat, tears, and even a broken neck.
Looking back, if I had the chance to do it all over again, my answer would always be a resounding LET’S GO!
Here’s to every athlete dreaming big....never give up, keep pushing, and make your dreams a reality! 🇺🇸💪#Happy30YearsOfGold
