Tom Ryan

Thanks for posting. It was a nice article and tough to read about Tom's son for sure.
 
I found Tom Ryan's comments fascinating after winning the NCAA title this year. He spoke about being close and not getting it done, because they had not suffered enough. I don't know if that meant they did not put in enough work or did not want it badly enough or that thru suffering people grow and they needed to grow to become champions.

Either way, I find it interesting to listen to coaches and getting inside their heads and seeing how they work. He gives a pretty good interview. I would put him up there with Tom Brands, Cael and John Smith as far as good interview givers.

Metcalf and Burroughs give great interviews as wrestlers and I always thought Lincoln McIlravy gave a great interview. They seem to let you know what is happening inside their head.
