Sports you don’t understand are always boring. The mental strength needed is much greater in wrestling than in baseketball. If the team loses in basketball, a player can blame it on others. If a wrestler loses, he can only blame it on himself. Being pinned can be one of the most embarassing moments in a wrestler’s day. Yet wrestlers always get up off the mat and come back ready to wrestle. The only college sport harder than wrestling is probably boxing, although not many colleges have boxing teams. In boxing, the athlete has all of the experiences of a wrestler but also is at risk of immedate and sudden death.
