I was first introduced to the actual sport of wrestling when I was in Wisconsin last year. Every year my family and I go to Wisconsin to visit family and friends. One of my cousins Cameron and I started wrestling, he was impressed that I was able to beat him because he had been wrestling for more than nine years and I had never wrestled before. During this school year I was apart of the legacy marching band. That program took up a lot of my time (14 hours a week), now after the marching season was completed I didn't know what to do with all that extra time. I decided to look into doing a winter sport, wrestling was the sport that stood out most to me. Another reason I wanted to be apart of the wrestling team is because my dad wrestled for his high school when he was my age and he said he loved it. Now after being apart of the wrestling team for almost a month now I have learned that I love it too. Because I have developed a love for wrestling I decided I wanted to research more about many different aspects of this amazing …show more content…
Two of the most common skin infections are staph infection and ringworm. Skin infections account for about 14.4% of all adverse events during wrestling. Staph infection can result in boils, painful rashes, sores, and blisters. Staph infection can sometimes result in sepsis, this infection is caused when the staph infection invades your bloodstream, sepsis can lead to sepsis shock which is a life threatening episode with low blood pressure. Ringworm results in a patch of itchy and infected skin with a red ring around the outside, inside the ring may be clear, scaly or marked with a scattering of red bumps. Ringworm is transmitted usually through skin to skin contact with someone with the infection, but it can also be transmitted through animal to human, object to human, and in rare cases soil to human contact. Skin infections are a major concern in the wrestling community, as of right now though there are no rules or regulations that force wrestling officials or coaches to wash the wrestling mats which can carry many skin infections including staph and ringworm. If there was a rule or regulation that forced wrestling officials to wash wrestling mats before and after practices and matches the number of skin infections would decrease. When the mats are washed they should not be washed just with soap and water but with a distinct solution that is antibacterial and that included certain ingredients
Wrestling is one of the oldest sports, and it has a lot of historical background. Wrestling was established in the 15th and 16th century, but it was not a competitive sport at the time.

It was during the pioneer days that wrestling’s popularity began to grow. In Canada, there was a wrestling champion from each of the small villages and settlements. After the champions were crowned, they would all compete against each other and whoever won was the best of the best (Wrestling). A wide variety of people were involved in wrestling, even some presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Washington was good enough to win a tournament, and at one point in history, there was a style of wrestling named after him. That style, however, is no longer used in today’s sport.

The sport of wrestling became my entire life when I was eight years old and it is the reason I am the man you see today. Wrestling helped me discover who I am as a person, and it is also a big factor in the career path that I am on today.

I started off young when I began to like wrestling. I would wrestle with my giant doll of the WWE wrestler Randy Savage. My parents would see me all around the house wrestling with that doll, and everyday they knew I was going to wrestle.

Wrestling can be dated as far back as 338 B.C in Ancient Greece although more commonly found in the City State of Athens. To the people of this time, tremendous value was placed on the unity of mind, body, and spirit (Wuest & Bucher, 2009). Being so, as a way of honoring the gods, Zeus in particular the Greeks held the Olympic Games; a festival of such grandeur that all warring city-states proposed a truce in order for the games to be conducted safely. However, after the Roman conquest of Greece the importance of a sound mind in a sound body came to an abrupt end, leading to what was known as blood sports or as most people know them by, gladiatorial sports.

My first year of wrestling was in high school my junior year. I wrestled at Forbush High School in the 106/113 pound weight class throughout this winter sport. Before, I must admit that I did at many different times think that the sport of wrestling was the most dumb and homosexual sport ever. One of my friends came up to me a few months after and asked me what I thought about wrestling. I told him like I said to everyone else, “It’s the most homosexual sport ever created.” He said, “When you’re out there wrestling, you don’t think about it. I challenge you to come out this year and wrestle and tell me if you think about anything being homosexual out there.” I accepted his challenge. My first day of
not everyone can do them both benefit each other Wrestling vs Football Would an athlete rather play in a sixty-minute football game or wrestle in a six-minute match? In both scenarios, there will be bumps and bruises, but the two competitions are completely different. These may correlate well with each other but there are also many differences. In both actives there are team implications, but in wrestling the only time a team factor comes into effect is when practice rolls around. These two sports can help each other, wrestling would keep football players in shape, and football would teach physicality to wrestlers.
Over the span of the last century no other invention has impacted America such as that of the automobile. During the infancy of such an invention it only had one purpose: to transport the commonwealth to and fro with much convenience to its credit. However, as the decades passed so did the shape and form of automobiles changed as well; from the simplistic design of Ford’s Model T, to the aggressive angles of muscle cars, and to the boxy retro design of the 80’s. Aside from from the evolution of appearances differing from generation to generation of automobiles, one constant feature setting one model more distinguished from another was (and still is) its performance; it is because of this, America fell in love with automobiles and created
The history behind the world's most famous sport. Soccer started around 300 BCE. The ball used for the matches were usually leather balls, which was kicked into a small net.

The historical rules of soccer where you could bite, kick, and punch the other in order to get the ball to the target. People grew fond of this sport which lead to even more violence out of the game because of the people supporting the other other teams.

The Viper is back in the main event picture after winning a fun Royal Rumble with a number of amazing moments. From Jack Gallagher jumping off the top with an open umbrella, Baron Corbin shockingly eliminating Braun Strowman, Luke Harper turning on Bray Wyatt, Lesnar getting eliminated by Goldberg in quick fashion, to the Goldberg/Undertaker confrontation, what the match lacked in surprise entrants was made up for in theatrics. Once the match got down to the final four of Orton, Wyatt, Jericho, & Reigns, Jericho was the first to go via Reigns' Superman Punch, followed by Wyatt being eliminated by Reigns. But, just when you thought we were on the verge of an Alamodome revolt, with Reigns winning for the second time in three years, Randy Orton hit an RKO and threw Reigns over the top.
