Nathan Vader Quotations

From that moment on, he knew he could be the best.

He's been the same size and ability for awhile now, but he finally believes in himself. He's starting to get the success he deserves.

He definitely has state potential. Technically, he's very sound. He's excellent at takedowns as well as with his pin combinations. He's really lethal when he gets on top.

Our main goal is to be league champions and then win sections. I think we're always in contention for a league title. This year, I feel we definitely have a good chance.

That was a good team, but I think this year's team is more well-rounded.

With such a young team, that really wasn't even a goal of ours at the beginning of the season, but at this point, I think we're definitely in contention to win another subsection title. We're peaking at the right time.

Everything we've worked on all year is coming together right now. Every kid is just so confident and they truly believe that they can all be champions. Everyone feeds off each other. No one wants to go out and give half a performance. Every kid wants to be a star.

At most matches or tournaments, you're always proud of a lot of the boys, but there's also one or two disappointments. But in this match, there were zero disappointments. Every kid gave all they had. It's one of my proudest moments, seeing the team come together like that.

This has been a great year. With a young team, I never thought we'd be at this place we are now, but this team just works so well together. Every kid has so much heart and they feed off of each other's energy.

It's just a great group and they're all there for the right reason. They're there for the kids.

It's going to be a good time. This team works so well together. It's going to be a little sad to see some of the boys drop out and not move on, but I think all the kids are really optimistic about the outcome this weekend.

I let him know exactly how it was. I told him it was all on his shoulders and he was going to have to be the one to step up and win the match for the team. He had the whole weight of the world on his shoulders, but he understood what he had to do and he executed.

I had three kids that started at over 300 pounds, and two of them dropped the weight and came out. If the kid doesn't have as much weight to drop, it might motivate them to participate. No one knows for sure though.

The crowd support we've been getting is unbelievable. At subsections, our crowd was by far the largest of any team there. It's a huge morale boost when you look over and see 40 to 50 people cheering for you.
