FORTY DAYS is a social, spiritual and learning experiment in which people experience the intensity of monastic life. The purpose is not religious conversion per se, but it is to expose people to the reality of unplugging from modern life completely and creating the opportunity to explore their beliefs in a contemplative environment. The tone of the series will be thoughtful and respectful to the brothers and sisters who have made their monastery home to our production team and the participants in the series.

I think she'll be excited when she gets the 3,000. But, seriously, I think it's awesome that she's doing that. For your coach to do something like that to make our senior day special, I am just really thankful that she would go out on a limb to do something like that. When she told the team, I was really surprised and kind of shocked but it just shows the kind of person she is and we really appreciate what she's doing.

That was probably the first time I've been totally impressed, 100 percent. We wrestled the toughest competition -- top-ranked wrestlers -- and just went after it.
