Wrestling stands as one of the most grueling and physically demanding sports you can get involved in. Football is probably the only sport that requires more training and discipline than wrestling. Because of this, wrestlers are in danger of over-training throughout their careers.
One of the oldest sports known to man and one of the most rewarding athletic activities that anyone can participate in is wrestling. There are three main styles of wrestling; Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and Folk style. Although Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling are the events displayed in the Olympics; in the middle schools, high schools, and colleges across the United States our primary focus is on teaching young athletes Folk style wrestling. However, regardless of the style that a person chooses to involve themselves with the potential rewards remain the same.
