Valuable Life Lessons Learned
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. The sport of wrestling is a microcosm of society. It teaches you about work ethic, character, discipline, humility, and perseverance. In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength, but through perseverance. It’s through perseverance that our wrestlers have learned that at the heart of every defeat, is the seed of a future victory. While the defeats can be heartbreaking, it’s encouraging to watch the kids come off the wrestling mat with dignity and professionalism.
