Justin Ruffin

Loved catching up w/ former @UGHS_Wolverines @Jruff14 who taught me to ❤️ wrestling! He’s known by most for winning 4 state titles in HS, @OfficialGHSA but to me, it’s his kind, always humble spirit-giving back by attending wrestling practice & being an inspirational role model.

I had the opportunity to meet with 2 great coaches today. Thank you @aceofspates and @TPrazma165 for showing me the campus and talking about some of my goals in the sport and in life. @SIUEWrestling has an amazing campus.

Fear is a tool that provides you with instant feedback, so if your goals don’t scare you then they’re probably not good enough goals.

Just remember that it took Naruto more than a decade to become Hokage. Greatness doesn’t happen overnight!

If you follow HS wrestling you probably know the name @lillard_tyler . What you may not know about this top-50 recruit is what Tyler has gone through just to step on the mat. @MostlyGina tells his remarkable story.

This dude.

The amount of adversity he’s tackled in the past year is unreal. Got choked up at the end of his tournament because all the hard work paid off.

I’m just riding coat tails, but I’m so proud to have seen this man qualify for the OLYMPIC TRIALS!

He deserves it.
