Most of us have heard this one:
“Once you’ve wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”
Here is one I haven't heard, but I like it:
“The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.”
Gold Medal Quote:
“Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.”
This is how you lose:
“Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.”
The confidence factor:
“I can take anyone down at anytime; they can’t take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.”
And again:
“I shoot, I score. He shoots, I score.”
Leave it all out on the mat:
“The obvious goals were there- State Champion, NCAA Champion, Olympic Champion. To get there I had to set an everyday goal which was to push myself to exhaustion or, in other words, to work so hard in practice that someone would have to carry me off the mat.”
Yogi Berra, I think you have met your match.
But then again:
"When you come to a fork in the road....Take it"
"You can observe a lot by watching"
"The future ain't what it used to be"
"If the people don't want to come out to the ballpark, nobody's going to stop them"
"I usually take a two hour nap from one to four"
and...
"It ain't over 'til it's over"
The only thing I know is that Gable was a better wrestler, Berra was a better catcher, and they were both great Quotemasters.
