I have heard this several times from my peers and I laugh every time that someone comments like that. Wrestling is more than just a sport, it is a lifestyle. Wrestling has taught me more than just hard work and dedication.

I have learned so much just from cutting weight in wrestling. I have learned that no matter what you always have a little extra gas in the tank.Whenever you feel down, lost, or hopeless there is always an end to the madness that is going on with your life and you have to make the best out of it. I also learned from wrestling is dedication and discipline. These two attributes have shown me that I can’t quit and that if I have to do something that I might as well give me 100%.

The weight class I am wrestling in is one hundred and thirteen pounds, but I weigh one hundred and nineteen. I was very nervous that my coach would find out and be displeased with me. I began to worry because being six pounds over meant that I could only eat a little bit each day, and work extra to lose all of the weight.

    Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things.
