"I used to wrestle all from the heart and now I think I'm old enough that I can get a little tricky." Garrison believes he is wrestling better than ever before. "My short-term goal is making the world team and my long-term goals are winning at the World Championships, making the Olympic team and winning at the Olympic championships."
