Jack and Owen have been wrestling since they were four or five. I know it’s not their favorite sport. But someday, I hope they realize how much they have gained and how many doors have been opened because they wrestle.
I can easily say that no activity they have done has contributed more to developing sportsmanship, a committed work ethic and a sense of self-esteem and self-confidence than wrestling. On a purely physical level, wrestling has helped all their other sports by developing strength, speed, footwork and aggressiveness.
Unlike the other sports they play, wrestling is individual. There is no dealing with unfair coaches, tryouts, or non-motivated teammates. A wrestler goes out on the mat and wins — or loses — alone. There is no one else to blame or to take the credit. A kid can learn a lot from that.
For anyone who doesn’t already have a winter sport, wrestling is a great choice in many ways.
