QUOTES FROM THE OLYMPIC COACH SELECTIONS    MEN'S FREESTYLE    Tom Brands of Iowa City, Iowa    "It is a big job. It takes a lot of energy and commitment from the National Governing Body, the coaching staff and the athletes. When they all come together, great things can happen. The framework is in place."    "The biggest thing is to get our guys to wrestle their match. We know they will wrestle hard. If they wrestle smart, and get into their heads that they will dominate, we will do well. In the same breath, we have a lot to work on. We have some young, hungry guys. We have to build on that and capture that."    Zeke Jones of Morgantown, W.Va.    "It is truly an honor to represent our country and represent the Olympic freestyle wrestling team. It is a responsibility to lead this team, and I look forward to that responsibility. Our main focus will be preparation. We will focus on each athlete becoming an Olympic champion, and trying to develop seven Olympic champions. I have talked to Kevin and Tom, and that process has already begun. It is a great opportunity and I look forward to it."    National Freestyle Coach Kevin Jackson of Colorado Springs, Colo.    "I'm excited to have Zeke and Tom working with our athletes to help them achieve their goals. Their experience, knowledge and dedication will show in our performance. They have been in the battle before, both as coaches and athletes. As college assistant coaches, they will have the time and support to commit to the athletes. Both have agreed to go on a winter tour, thanks to the support of their college programs. That should help our athletes tremendously."    "Our goals are to bring back the most Olympic medals of any wrestling nation. The experience from 2003 will show in our performance in 2004. We have many things to work on. Zeke and Tom will do anything to help them achieve their goals. Everybody who ultimately makes our team is capable of winning an Olympic gold medal. We have to improve in technical and tactical situations. If we achieve that, we should reach our goals. Our goals have not changed - to be the best wrestling nation in the world!"    biographies of Olympic Coaches for 2004 U.S. team in freestyle wrestling
