The following is a special contribution to the SCPYWO Website from Wade
Schalles, the only person to win National Championships in all four
forms of wrestling (Freestyle, Greco, Judo, and Sombo):
Welcome to Wrestling. . .
the sport of Kings, Presidents, and Angels.
As we all know, in today's world, our children are either home after
school, typically without supervision, or they are involved in
extracurricular activities. Keeping children's free time occupied with
positive experiences, in an wholesome environment, is good for society
and the responsibility of each parent.
It is well documented that more United States Presidents and Kings of
foreign lands have participated in wrestling than any other sport! Even
Jacob Wrestled with the Angels for the only reference to a sport in the
Bible.
The willing participation of these individuals in wrestling can be
directly linked to the numerous and incontestable traits the sport
imparts to its contestants.
First and foremost of which is the phenomenal work ethic that is
associated with achievement in the sport. Learning how to stretch for
personal growth is a characteristic of all who conquer internal
questions and today's challenges.
Next in the extensive list of reasons to wrestle and why it is to
beneficial is the honing of intellectual skills. Fording the
participants to create new strategies and techniques that are designed
for success. To partake of the physical chess game the sport is so well
known for with others of similar size and age.
If you select to give wrestling a try, be prepared to get involved in a
wildly exciting and exceptional activity. But be warned, the sport has
a tendency to give tests first, then the lessons.
Good luck, God Bless, and Go Get'm!
