Why Wrestling Is Important To Me

Improved Essays
Many people say to play sports, and they provide you the usual explanation to join. Keeping you in shape; it will be fun; you will meet new friends, and that it will keep you out of trouble are the general reasons heard for playing a sport. All of those reasons I agree with; however, one reason they never say is, you can learn more than just the rules and technique of the game. Wrestling is the sport that I have participated in and which has become an important element of my life for 11 years now. Even to this day, I still love the intensity and discipline of the sport, and that helps keep my motivation every day. Wrestling has not just made me into the person I am today, but what I will be in the future.

The dedication necessary is unbelievable-

    Since the time of the Greeks and Romans, wrestlers have competed both on the battle field and at home to see who will win. Many sports advertise challenging competition similar to that of wrestling, but very few can follow through with these promises. This happens because these other sports do not build themselves on set standards such as mental and physical strength and technique. These important parts of wrestling have set it apart for centuries. As a wrestler, I know that these standards make wrestling not only a sport, but a lifestyle.…
