Wrestling is an Individual Sport. It is an official Olympic Sport and it is one of the oldest sports (I think). It is intense to watch. It is really intense and potentially stressful when it is your son or grandson wrestling. It is also potentially rewarding. There are proud moments watching a grandson trying his best, giving 100% and never giving up.
Wrestling is physical. Lonely. Challenging. Ever changing.
Wrestling brings conditioning, commitment, physical and mental toughness. Individual Responsibility. There is no way to blame a classmate or the coach's starting line up.
And wrestling provides great opportunities
for Father / Son opportunities . . .
Bonding.
Time together.
Life lessons.
and, oh yes, I was right. Wrestling is an ancient sport. Ancient Greece:
Athletic contests are held at Olympia every four years, between August 6 and September 19. Records reach back as far as 776 B.C., but it is generally accepted that the Olympic Games had already been held for several centuries before that.
The Games originally consist only of foot races. Other events are gradually added, starting with wrestling and the pentathlon.
