Sports Science (Wrestling)
Wrestling is a really interesting topic. However people don’t now but there is more than slams and chokes, there is a science behind it. Wrestling is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. And for those who enjoy wrestling it is something that takes the mind off from all of life’s troubling times, and puts one man versus another to get their hand raised. Competition makes everything evolve, and there is no other sport that teaches what competition truly is.

“Six minutes doesn’t seem like enough time to crush a dream, but it is.” Wrestlers’ dreams are faced with this challenge every time they step on a mat. Their dreams of success in wrestling are put to the test every match. “No one else can wrestle for them.” They must do it. Wrestling is the peak of all sport because it has a level of team purity and individual intensity that separates it from other sports. Every time someone walks into a building to see a live wrestling event they do not know what to expect. They wonder who will win in their matches. They think about where their seats are. All of the suspense gets them ready for the exhibition. The suspense gets them pumped and ready to for the show that’s about to start.

    The first day I came in I looked around the room and tried to spot the more experienced wrestlers, from the beginner wrestlers. Once I noticed who needed a specific one on one partner or was not quite understanding a move, I would go wrestle with them and teach them slowly until they understood the movement. Only after a couple try's would the kids learn the move. I believe wrestling sometimes needs to be taught one on one because not everyone can jump right into the movement, yet they have to walk threw it slowly until they fully understand what to do and feel the muscle connection of the movement. For example the first week of practice I was teaching Robbie how to do a switch from bottom position, when while he was doing the sit out just fine, he wasn't putting his hand in the right place when he would hit the switch (which would be in between my legs) rather he would put his hand to the outside of my leg and wasn't hitting the switch properly.…

Although these are large motivators that create eating disorders in wrestlers, the only reason they decide to compete in this sport and follow these weight regulations is because of their drive to compete and win. Some may argue that the reasons wrestlers develop eating disorders is because of the tradition of the sport. Wrestling has been around for a long time. “Drawings of wrestling holds have been found in Egyptian tombs from 2,500 BC, and wrestling was one of the five sports in the first Quadern Olympiad in 776 BC” (Perriello 8).…

    Unlike other sports you can literally not be good at wrestling if you are not mentally tough. Now what do I mean by the term mentally tough? Mentally tough means you are able to push past what your mind may be telling you or what your body feels like and is telling you. That even when you have 30 yards left to sprint and your brain and body say you can no longer go you push through and keep going. You rise early to go workout instead of staying in to sleep because you are tired.…

    The discourse community for wrestling is different from most that I have heard. It could be similar to most high school sports because every high school has their own way of saying things. This Community differs from other communities because if you have never heard a person who wrestles talk about it or have never wrestled yourself, it can get very confusing. Wrestling is different because most terms are not heard in every day language. The moves are different for every team, although every move has a universal name that everyone knows it by.…
