Wrestling prepares a person to fight the
game of life.
The wrestler is the one athlete that must meet his opponent and do
battle completely on his own;
No one can substitute: no time outs are possible.
He has no one to check, screen, block, or assist him in any way;
There is no one to blame for his mistakes.
When he wins, he must show quiet pride and modesty.
When he loses, the responsibility is his.
Wrestling is a true sport.
In other sports, when contact is made, they blow the whistle to stop
the action;
In wrestling, when contact is made, we're just getting started.
No other sport requires more sacrifice than wrestling.
The individual, through self-denial, offers more of his character than
ever be explained here.
It is something he carries with him throughout life...
Through every trial, test, and tribulation.
