Wrestlers are by definition the most physically tough, mentally determined and, perhaps, the most insane athletes ever. The true wrestler respects all their fellows, on and off the mat. We know struggle, defeat, victory, hunger, longing,
grit, strength, weakness, endless training, sweat, even more sweat, pain, refusal, submission. It is these things that drive us, no more, no less.
Pure love for our
sport that no one understands, and quiet acceptance that our sport has, and will forever out last all others.
