Competing in this event is going to raise his confidence level. He got to see what he needs to do to get past some of the best talent in the state. There are no easy matches once you get here.
amazing gain good jump largest next percentage strongest talking tested weight wrestler
If I tested him, he's probably, pound-for-pound, the strongest wrestler we have. He's able to make that leap. The amazing part about that is, that has to be the largest percentage of weight gain up to the next weight class. That's a nine-pound jump . . . you're talking about eight percent of his weight. That's a pretty good leap.

He wasn't the stereotypical wrestler who cut down on weight lifting and modified his diet. He ate what he wanted to, and worked out tremendously every day.

If he gets past that kid, there is a good chance he goes all the way to the final. He wrestled a good match. The kid was just got the better of the overtime.

He's a healthy 103-pounder now. That gives him a huge advantage over some of the other 103-pounders who are kind of small.
