Wrestling Is Not An Easy Sport

First off, athletes give time and effort to maintain a successful career. It’s not like athletes go out and only play one game a day or so. Pro athletes put in a lot of training, studying, and everything they’ve got. They are very dedicated and love the game

Throughout high school and undergraduate studies, I have tried to achieve academic excellence, improve my athletic abilities and become a better employee at a law firm. Although several experiences have shaped me as an individual, I believe that wrestling set the foundation for most of my improvements and accomplishments. I first started practicing wrestling when I was six years old and competing when I was nine. Although I was training four times a week, I failed to win anything for several years. I became less confident in my abilities, but I did not give up on the sport. I wanted to prove to myself that I can compete for medals with other athletes. Poor performances motivated me to work harder in practices, spectate older wrestlers and exercise

Furthermore, there are also bad sides to being a pro athlete, so the money is not an easy make. Having all that money, it may be thought that a pro athlete 's life is easy to live with all that money in their pockets. They might say that money can get them out of almost any problem. Even though some athletes get paid large amounts of money, there are a lot of down sides to being a well-known and paid pro. For one, the publicity might be overwhelming, not to mention all the criticism an athlete receives for a poor performance. How would it feel to walk around town having cameras flashing everywhere you go, waiting to catch you at the wrong moments for a photo just to be uploaded for the world to see? Pros have no privacy. Having no privacy means one cannot enjoy life outside of the sport. Having to worry about every move doesn 't seem fair because they also want a life outside of their desired profession. Before criticizing pro athletes and saying they get paid way too much, one should also realize that their lives aren 't so easy. Yes, they have money, but money doesn 't make life easier for these athletes.

As a wrestler myself, I want to be the best I can be. Therefor I have to commit to it. Employers often look to hire wrestlers because we are dedicated and do anything we need to do to the best of our ability. If a wrestler chose to be a ditch digger for a living, he would be the best and most dedicated ditch digger ever.

Professional athletes are highly talented and determined entertainers with extraordinary physical abilities. They compete in various sports to entertain people and make a living. Those include basketball, football, baseball, hockey, tennis, and the list goes on to any athlete that gets paid to play. These athletes train really hard and for long hours to be the best at what they do. Fans pay to watch them perform because they really enjoy seeing them. Like other entertainers, such as actors and singers, athletes are paid large amounts for their performances. Professional athletes are not overpaid for the amount of physical and mental stress they go through to do their job.

Wrestling has and always will be a big part of my life, that’s not to say I have had a pleasant nor a fair time on the wrestling mat, but I guess life’s not fair. I have always enjoyed wrestling from the first time I stepped foot on a mat in kindergarten in my singlet that was 2 sizes too big, from the last time leaving the mat as a junior in high school limping off the mat in some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s been in my family for as long as I can remember. My uncle has not missed being mat side, yelling for his favorite wrestlers at the Minnesota State Wrestling Tournament in 20 years. My cousin wrestled for Iowa State University before coming back to his hometown in Mankato and suffering a career ending injury as well.

If any of you are television wrestling fans (WWE or any other league) you'll see that most of the men are literally huge. Not many are less than 250 pounds, and that's just the starting weight. It's utterly impossible to be as big (muscle-wise) and not weigh at least 250. That's all well and good for the pros. They're mostly on display and we all assume it's fake. But I'm talking about the kids in this sport. They range in age from 14-18 years old and for the most part it's a great sport. It, as in all competitive sports, teaches camaraderie, sportsmanship and working with others. Wrestling is a sport that builds character and strong bodies. So where's my beef? That's just it, in some cases there's just not enough of it. Take the 103-pound class. How is a grappler supposed to maintain this kind of weight throughout a high school career? He isn't. Most kids as they mature go on to the next weight class. Now that's all well and good if everyone moved up as they progressed through school, but that's just not the case. I'm sure if any high school coaches are reading this piece I've now caught their attention. My problem starts right here. I'm not accusing any coach or parent of purposely trying to

Wrestling has been something that has gone through our family for a long time except for me. I have been that one kid who has stopped wrestling from an injury and I will not go back to it for some reason. I get out of Jr. High and head to high school and I want a sport to do during the winter to stay in shape for football. Wrestling or basketball were my choices, I had heard that the basketball coaches split up the teams so wrong and they don’t do very hard work. Wrestling is a hard sport where you got to watch your weight and the coaches will make sure you do your best, So I went with the best choice, Wrestling.

Much of my life has been influenced by the sport of wresting. My father is the head wrestling coach of the high school I attend; my whole life I have watched the sport, and spent time with his past teams. In the fifth grade I told my father that I no longer wanted to continue wrestling; we made a deal that when I reached high school I would join the team and if I still felt that wrestling was not a sport I wanted to pursue, I could quit again and end my career. When I entered high school, my brother had already been attending the same school and wrestling for my dad on the school team, so adapting to high school and high school sports was more simple for me than other students. The winter of my freshman year I was, as I had promised my father, out for the wrestling team.

I want to be better at wrestling.I want to be better at wrestling is because i am right with one of my wrestling cousin.I want to pass him a way i can do instead of just practicing like normal i will practice like it is a match .Another reason is i am right under one kid at state because every match i get closer and closer to him he has a kid right at him so they go into overtime a lot so i want to beat both of them and i want to take state champion. I can make sure i beat them by practicing what moves they do well on one of them just goes for your right leg but now i know how to defend that the other one just does anything.Another reason if i am the only one to make it to the olympics i want to be the only one to bring home gold.Away do

The only reason why these athletes are so good, is because they practiced. They don’t just practice either, it’s more of training for hours and pushing themselves to the limit. In a sense, they dedicate their lives to the sport that they’re playing. The main reasons these athletes even play these sports is because they love it. They wouldn’t just spend a good chunk of their life dedicated to the sport just for money.

sports section, para. 3). Campbell identifies the opportunity of personal gain that singular competition offers. The individual quality of wrestling combined with its capacity to also serve as a team sport have equipped its participants with personal benefits that are unique to the sport alone. Wrestling is known to be a sport of equal opportunity because it invites athletes from different economic backgrounds and provides the opportunity for women to succeed in the sport as well. As explained earlier, the sport does not require a large amount of extra accessories in order for a participant to compete.

The sport of wrestling has been going on for thousands of years. Our earliest ancestors have been known to play the sport. Back in the caveman times in France the drawings have showed us two men grappling and fighting (College Sports). This is showing the two men wrestling. Wrestling to me has been the toughest sport I have had to participate in so far in my athletic career.

These Pro Athletes are also getting paid a lot of money becauses they are really well in their sport and why are they doing well. It may because they have a lot of talent and put a lot of time into training but also a lot of it could be the use of a performance

“Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.” - Dan Gable
