Wrestling is tough, it is a sport much from its participants, but if one has the courage to step out on the mat dressed in a uniform that leaves a little imagination and challenge another human to a match to see who the better man is. Danger can be found in every sport, and wrestling are no more prone to injury’s to soccer, football, track stars, lacrosse. Wrestling creates a sense of accountable for one’s actions. Those that work hard, succeed. There is no one to hide behind; every flaw and mistake is brought forth in a match. It takes a great deal of mental toughness and sacrifice nights with friends for extra practice and consideration, favorite food to lose the extra pound, and sleep when one needs to wake up at 4am to go for a run before school begins. That competitive nature of clashing with another human being creates a sense of community within the wrestling world. Those that have never participated in the sport have a tough time understanding this. Opponents’ must shake hands before and after, showing respect for the other fighter, win or lose. It is uncommon to see administration in the form of an embrace even after one has lost a tough battle. These values are created through combative sports, and stay with a wrestle for the remainder of their…
A recent Gallup poll asked "Do you consider pro wrestling to be a sport, or not?" Of the people asked, 81% said "No." The results were based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1,028 adults, 18 years and older, conducted August 16-18, 1999.…
When Tae Kwon Do became popular in Canada it strengthened the mind and bodies of practitioners. The attributes of Tae Kwon Do made people more behaved and respectful. It taught adults and children how to defend themselves from a threat. Tae Kwon Do also strengthened individual communities. Communities would gather for classes, belt tests, and tournaments. I know when I went to the a tournament, all my fellow grasshoppers, and parents bonded and cheered each other on like never before. When I talked with Master Jerome Cabanatan at the tournament, he told me “It's great that we’re all just coming here and spreading Tae Kwon Do, that's what it's about, coming here and just being here.” Tae Kwon Do strengthened…

As a result of most of my family being athletes, I was pretty much destined to carry on the torch in the world of sports. Wrestling took me by storm early at an early age and continued to grow on me throughout my teenage years. The topic that I want to express to readers is that of how wrestling affected my life.…
Ever since kicking my first soccer ball during Kinder Kicks, soccer has become a fundamental aspect of my life. Not only have I been playing the sport since then, but the sport has also influenced me beyond solely playing it. It is the culture surrounding the game as well. It is waking up early every Saturday morning to watch the Liverpool game, or getting ready to cheer on the New England Revolution in Gillette Stadium in the evenings. Soccer has been embedded everywhere in my life, from the posters on my bedroom walls to the jerseys that continue to accumulate on my closet floor. This passion has driven me to share the sport with as many as I can. With the Natick Soccer Organization, I have been organizing tournaments for U10 and U14 boys…
Just from sports you can learn life lessons for just that watching or even playing. Even though competitive sports is about participation it is all about how hard you work and how hard you try. If your team gets last in a tournament, that does not matter…
Few sports encompass the battle of human bodies and wills quite like the sport of wrestling does. Two opponents of equal size, with little equipment, and no goal other than to physically dominate your opponent. Ask any wrestler, however, and they will tell you that this “physical” battle is 90% mental- more about breaking and outlasting your opponent rather than feats of physical strength. Press that same wrestler a little further, and they will admit that the toughest battle is not actually with the person standing on the line across from you, but rather within your own mind and body. The fact that wrestlers drop a lot of weight before competition, (sometimes using harmful methods) is well-known, but few people understand the full process…
I had a rough draft made, but I decided it didn't go with how I was feeling with everything going on. I decided to write the paper that would prove to my mother why I should continue to do wrestling. I had many ideas that I wrote down like quotes that apply, but I didn't realize till after I wrote the ideas down, that I was wasting too much time thinking of what to write than actually typing the paper. I thought about the people that made me realize that I want to continue to wrestling. I got the sense of why wrestling can help me learn things that I can use for the future. "It's that kind of sport where you look in the mirror and you either see a winner or a loser" I was told from a wise man I met at a wrestling match. Learning to be confident is part of winning or losing a match. Usually whoever put more hours of work into wrestling, it's a most guaranteed win. But everybody makes mistakes and that's when part of confidence comes in. Wrestling teaches many things that other sports doesn't always. I think it's one of the hardest, but most rewarding sports anyone can participate in. "Always improving" my coach always tells me. Like in writing my teacher explains, "It's never finished; it's just due." I'm starting to fathom how wrestling applies to many things in…
Recently, the decision has been made to remove wrestling from the Olympics in the year 2020. This heavily debated decision was made because it is said that wrestling does not produce enough ticket sales and is not popular enough on the global scale. Therefore, it has been proposed that it be replaced with karate or rock climbing. With this major change in the Olympics, many people are going to suffer, such as returning Olympic placers or even nations that are successful in wrestling. Wrestling should not be removed from the Olympics because it is a historical part of the Olympics. Wrestling was one of the first five sports in the Olympics and the oldest sport…
One thing that I have learned from wrestling is self-confidence. It is just me out there against my opponent and no one to help me. So I learned to believe in myself because I would accomplish things that I didn't think I could do. Last year I was wrestling a kid from Capital who won state the year before I was nervous to wrestle him. Well it was a close match and I was down by one point with only a few seconds left on the clock. But I finally just took my chance and hit a sweet double leg takedown to win the match. Wrestling has showed me that you are responsible for your own success. It has also taught me to take my shot no matter what. It doesn't matter the outcome whether it is winning or losing if I knew I put my all into what I just did. Then I would be proud and not hang my head and pout.…

Varsity football has had an enormous impact on me during high school because it taught me how dedication and determination would help me succeed in academics as well as in extracurricular activities.…
Sports were a scary thing to deal with when I was little, but I realized that in my age group I tended to be a large-sized kid. After realizing that I was a larger kid in my age group, I found sports more fun and less frightening. Foot and wrestling came easy to me and I had no problem with dealing with the growing up part in sports. Wrestling had helped me a lot. In wrestling you must be respectful, mature, and obedient. This sport alone has helped me grow up a lot due to the fact that you must be very self-obedient by not eating and always working out to keep your weight down.…
