Ressler wrote on social media, ‘People kept asking if Paris was the end. For a long time, I didn’t have the answer. I needed to get away from the mat, from the pressure, from expectations, even from my dreams. For the first time in years, I allowed myself to breathe. I took time to understand the burden of my journey – the ups and downs, the heartbreaks, the sacrifices, the versions of me the world never saw. And somewhere in that thinking, I found the truth, I still love this game. I still want to compete.
He further wrote in that silence I found something which I had forgotten ‘fire never ends’. It was just buried under fatigue and noise. Discipline, routine, fight… it’s all in my system. No matter how far I moved, a part of me remained on the mat. So here I am, stepping back toward LA28 with a heart that is fearless and a spirit that refuses to bow down. And this time I’m not walking alone, my son is joining my team, my biggest inspiration, my little cheerleader on this path to the LA Olympics.”
