Interesting quote by Ben Askren: "Every match is just a match to me. That's why I'm a great competitor." 2004 Silver Medalist Jamil Kelly once told me that he wishes he didnt get caught up in the moment for his Gold Medal Match.

I think it is a similar train of thought that Ben looks to view his matches. Anyways here is an article about Ben Askren. (Link)
