What if i am not sure that i will like wrestling?
What if i am not sure that i will like wrestling?
Come out for the team and try it. Give it a few weeks and if it doesn’t work out tell the coach that it just isn’t your sport. No hard feelings; it’s not for everyone and at least you had the courage to try out the sport. Just respect Burton Wrestling for giving you the chance to try.
Make sure you give it your best and don’t get discouraged because everybody will have good and bad days. Hard work isn’t always easy, but it is rewarding. Try to push yourself to new limits and meet the challenge. Once you have made it into a couple of competitions you should commit to finishing the season as the line-up is formed around your participation.
