Nathaniel Kummerer '27 Recruiting Profile

It takes a lot to be a wrestler: You can't let fear drive you away from hope and possibility. 

It is not just the strength, diet (nutrition), stamina, technique, and practice partners. It takes your whole mind, body, and soul. You can't just do wrestling; you have to live it. There is so much involving having a wrestling mindset. The mental toughness it takes and humbling of the sport. You need to be able to bounce back from defeats and move forward. You need to be there for teammates in their victories and defeats, even if you have victories and defeats. 

You have to set goals and be able to attain those goals, and if there are blocks that you can't get past. Don't blame anyone else.  Make new goals. Everyone wants to be great; you have to be willing to do what greatness requires. Setting a simple goal; score points. Everything else will follow. 

Gracious in defeat, humble in victory!
