Coach Jerry Schumacher on Chris Solinsky

"In interviews, Solinsky has blamed his own aggressiveness in training for his injury.
Schumacher thinks Solinsky is being too hard on himself. 
"He'll come back wiser," Schumacher said. "You can push hard and work hard and still make good decisions. Sometimes, maybe, that got lost in his desire to be great. That happens. 
"I'll take an athlete who has that type of passion and drive over someone who doesn't. It's a fine line to be sure. But to be the very best, and to do the things we talk about trying to do is not easy."
Wise words, from an interview on OregonLive.com
