Earl Hall’s competitive drive has taken him around the world and helped him pile up crazy amounts of hardware for his wrestling. But more recently, it’s guided him to his room, where pictures of his inter-conference adversaries hang all over his walls.
“I need to get comfortable with these guys so that when I see them, I’m just ready to go wrestle,” Hall said. “So what I’m doing is taking pictures of all the guys I might potentially face (this weekend) and am putting them up in my room, so that when I see them, I’m ready.”
His methods, however off-kilter, make it hard to doubt his motivation.
