Roger wasnt the most talented young wrestler or in the best shape. He had been deaf since birth and was your typical cash poor wrestler who couldnt pay for lessons. So when he asked me to coach him in his quest for an Olympic medal, what was it that made me jump at the chance? The answer came to me very quickly and with not much hesitation. Roger Stewart has the heart of a champion. I believe very deeply that talent can be taught. Passion and perseverance are more of an acquired taste.
