There are so many things that have evolved since I wrestled. They don't have periods anymore. They have rounds... it confuses the younger demographic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In wrestling, there's a shelf life, and some wrestlers don't pay attention to the shelf life.
When I was a kid at four years old, that's when I started amateur wrestling with my dad and family. And when that's instilled in you, it never goes away.
When I was wrestling, I was 19, I was young.
When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.
When I was training, I trained with my younger brother Brady. I would wrestle some of my friends, who I had grown up with, which showed me some moves, but it was never a full on match. When I went to competitions, there were other girls, so I always wrestled girls.
In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.
We tend to do period stuff because it helps make it one step removed from boring everyday reality.
Being a wrestler is like walking on the treadmill of life. You get off it and it just keeps going.
When I was younger, I used to wrestle, and I feel that it contributed to my athletic ability because as a wrestler you have to be an all-encompassed athlete. You need stamina, strength, endurance and mental capacity. You also have to learn how to adapt in any situation.
Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.
