Foxcatcher: The True Story Of My Brother's Murder, John Du Pont's Madness, And The Quest For Olympic Gold - Plot & Excerpts
Why doesn’t anyone talk about what happens when you exit the tunnel? My senior year had been my tunnel, and to help make it through, I had kept telling myself that there was a light at the end. If I came out on the other end with that third NCAA championship in hand, I thought I would retire and be happy the rest of my life. I would have been content with calling my senior year the final chapter and sending that book off to the printer. But Dave had other plans for us. Dave had won his championship as a senior and had earned All-American status all three seasons he was able to compete. But he didn’t care too much for collegiate wrestling. He was better at freestyle wrestling. Collegiate, or folkstyle, wrestling required more of a control-oriented, grinding style. It favored super-conditioned athletes with strong upper bodies that allowed them to hold opponents on their back for near fall points and to accumulate riding time.
