When you put six guys in the finals – that is what you are after, getting six automatic (NCAA) qualifiers. But we’ve got work to do. There are certain things that happened out there tonight that cannot ever happen, like lack of hustle or putting your head down on the mat. Across the board, those are things that we have to iron out during that year, and at this point in the year you have to have conversations because that’s not how you get yourself where you want to be. You get yourself where you want to be by hitting spectacular holds, and when you are down you have to keep hitting those spectacular holds and fighting. If you are behind and you think the lead is insurmountable, anything can happen in this sport. You cannot let up. You have to put yourself in the best position.

— University of Iowa Head Wrestling Coach Tom Brands

I suspect a quote like this indicates why he is having so much success as a coach. Of course, he’s emphasizing determination, hard work, and hustle — but, more importantly, performing through executing at your best: “hitting spectacular holds.”
