Wrestling in High school.
Question
Okay, well Im a junior in high school and I want to join wrestling. But my concern is that Im a junior,I keep thinking its too late for me to join . I've wanted to join last year but I was going through a "faze",you know with the whole Highschool thing. Well Im pretty good at one on one sports, where its completly up to you to win, I was in martial arts for instance and was one of the top guys at the dojo.Im 16 by the way. Well I think I will pick it up fast and I have the drive and determination. So my question to you I guess, should I go for it? I need to work on the strength but other then that, im really flexible and will be wrestling in the 125 pound class, im 135 so I needa drop 10 pounds, Im already skinny soo....thats a little concerning.
Thanks.
Answer
short answer, Do it! don't regret it next year by not going for it. yes if you've done martial arts you should pick up on the concepts quickly. many of them are the same. the techniques are a little different. so that's something you'll have to get use to. good luck!
