"After 20 years, I’m stepping away from competitive wrestling — for now. I feel everything: sadness, relief, uncertainty, excitement. It doesn’t feel perfect, but it feels right. Wrestling saved me. It taught me that faith is walking into the unknown. That success is doing the best you can with what God gives you — and letting Him handle the rest. Thank you to the wrestling community, team mates, mentors and coaches. I love you!!"
