ok im a girl and ive been going to my school's wrestling practices and its tuff. no one really ever talked about what goes on at practice to me before i just thought of it all as a big mystery them being downstairs lol. i love it though and wanna stick with it. but i just wanna say how much respect i have for wrestlers now. you all have to love it so much to go through the losing weight and practices.

Hey Shadow - I have great respect for YOU - having the courage to follow through with something you were interested in....and not letting hesitation or fear hold you back! You go girl!

I have wrestled from kindergarten through college and I can assure you that it is the toughest thing that I have ever experienced. It compares to no other sport. However, what I have found out from my experiences is that people who wrestle (at least for a couple of years and are successful at it) usually become better people through discipline. Being a wrestler results in a better worker, better parent, better citizen, and a better all around person. I will leave by quoting Dan Gable, "Once you have wrestled everthing else in life will be easy."

I know a guy who went to boot camp after his junior year of highschool and he said it was nothing compared to wrestling practice.

We have a girl on our Varsity team and she works just as hard as everyone else on the team (and harder than some). She is a very competitive, no excuses type of lady. I have a great deal of respect for her and wish her all the luck. She has told me that she would like to wrestle in college. Keep up the great work, Kaylyn!!!

I know some wrestlers, and i would be in class, and the would be in a plastic bag jumping around trying to loose weight to make it. It tough stuff, of course, if the would eat better, they wouldnt have that much of a problem. But still they things they go through are crazy. Mad props to them for doing that stuff.
