Dilworth Grizzlies Wrestling Club - New Zealand: Significant Quotes
Dilworth Grizzlies Wrestling Club - New Zealand

Dennis HASTERT (Speaker of the US House of Representatives)
The sport of wrestling is a tremendous builder of the values and of the characteristics which are needed to succeed in any walk of life. Much of what I have managed to achieve in life I owe directly to the years I spent in the wrestling room, as an athlete and as a coach. Wrestling is a great educational tool.

John IRVING (Author)
I feel more a part of the wrestling community than I feel I belong to the community of arts and letters. Why? Because wrestling requires even more dedication than writing; because wrestling represents the most difficult and rewarding objective I have ever dedicated myself to; because wrestlers and wrestling coaches are among the most disciplined and self-sacrificing people I have ever known.

Ed LU (NASA Astronaut)
“I wanted to talk about the space program and its connection to the sport of wrestling,” said Lu. “I started noting around the office that there were a lot of wrestlers there. There are about 80 astronauts, and 12 were wrestling, five of which have been coaches.”

“Why is that? It is about what wrestling teaches you. It is an attitude, an attitude of hard work and effort,” he said.

He also noted that many of the Russian cosmonauts were wrestlers.

Michael JORDAN (Basketball Superstar)
Great players never look in the mirror and think, 'I'm the greatest basketball player.' You ask yourself, 'Am I the best player I can be?'

Sir Edmund HILLARY (Mountaineer)
Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.

Eric LINDROS (NHL Ice Hockey Legend)
It´s not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it´s what you put into the practice.

Vincent T. LOMBARDI (Football Coach)
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.


Lou BROCK (Baseball Hall of Famer)
Show me a guy who´s afraid to look bad, and I´ll show you a guy you can beat every time.



Dan GABLE (Wrestling Legend)
If I ever left the wrestling room not feeling exhausted, I felt that somehow I had cheated... (paraphrased)

Karam GABER (Olympic Greco Champion)
It's not easy. My medal wasn't an accident.
