Why Wrestle ?
Wrestling prepares a boy to fight the game of life. The Wrestler is the one athlete who 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 pride and modesty; when he loses, the responsibility is his.
No sport requires more sacrifice than wrestling. The individual, through self-denial. offers More to his character then can ever be explained here. It is something he carries with him throughout life, and through every trial, test, and tribulation.
Wrestling is a common heritage of all ages - of all civilizations, It offers the inimitable thrill of individual combat under socially acceptable conditions. it efforts unrivaled useful skills. It demands independence of thought and action, and encourages self-confidence and self-restraint. It contributes to the development of well rounded personality, and increases one's capacity for an active and abundant life. My hope is that, in the future, the joys, the experiences, and benefits of this time honored sport may be brought in larger measure to an even increasing host of American Youth.
