Greg Wagaman is a retired marine with a great love for the greatest sport. Like so many military men, he was a hard-nosed mentor. He valued toughness and heart. And his own heart was bigger than his tough exterior would usually reveal. Never have I developed a more personal relationship with any coach. He taught me to respect the sport, love the sport, push myself to the edge of my abilities and beyond. He saw potential in me and did everything in his power to help me live up to it. The intensity in which he coached has been a blueprint I have used in my own career.
He continues to inspire young minds and so many young athletes are lucky to have him in their lives. I hope to be as inspirational to my wrestlers as he was to me.
