WHY WRESTLE?

• Wrestling prepares a person to fight the game of life.
• The wrestler is the one athlete that must meet his opponent and do battle completely on his own;
• No one can substitute: no time outs are possible.
• He has no one to check, screen, block, or assist him in any way;
• There is no one to blame for his mistakes.
• When he wins, he must show quiet pride and modesty.
• When he loses, the responsibility is his.
• Wrestling is a true sport.
• In other sports, when contact is made, they blow the whistle to stop the action;
• In wrestling, when contact is made, we're just getting started.
• No other sport requires more sacrifice then wrestling.
• The individual, through self-denial, offers more of his character than ever be explained here.
• It is something he carries with him throughout life...
• Through every trial, test, and tribulation.
