starting out

Question
QUESTION: im about to be a senior at my school, i haven't done any sports at all but i want to get into my school's wrestling team but im am not sure if i should, since chances are i'll have to be on varsity and take on varsity wrestlers. here are some things about me:
weight: 115 lbs
height: 5,6"
benchpress 1RM: 115 lbs
squat 1RM: 172 lbs
power clean 1RM: 115 lbs
deadlift 1RM: 205 lbs
friends have told me that i shold get into wrestling since i am so light but kinda "buff" i guess. they say that my weight class is really easy specially for a guy like me that is light and strong.  id like to know what are my chances of becoming a decent wrestler and what you think

ANSWER: well i don't know marvin.  when i was in highschool i had a few friends on the team had little to no experience before high school and still turned out to be pretty good.  i think toughness is the underlying factor.  if you're not tough then its going to be a rough go of it.  determination, especially right off the bat, because its something new, and people usually feel a little goofy when they start off especially as old as you are, but just keep trying to get better.  i think you'll have fun, its going to be a rough year, but ultimately worth it.  good luck!

QUESTION: what do you mean by tough though?
you mean as in "i'll kick the guy's butt straight out..grr" or something like that?

Answer
its hard to put into words. i'll bet after a month on the mat you'll have a better understanding of it, but here goes anyway.  toughness is not backing down.  knowing that although you aren't very good now, that being percistant and working hard you will be in the long run.  not giving up when day in and day out you will literally be beaten up every day. that's what wrestling is, its a controlled fight with scoring.  after practice most days you'll feel like making it your last day, but i'm telling you if you can find it in you to keep going then you'll understand down the road that it was all worth it, no matter how good you've gotten or not!
