wrestling means a lot to me, my boyfriend has wrestled since he was 5 and ever since we've been together ive loved it, i dont see why other people think it is that important either, i guess it just depends on who you are.

Yes, It's a big drama fight to be the most popular girl.  The whole thing with the "cliques" is true to.  Stuff like that makes it hard for people to get through high school, because they are always worrying about what other people think about them

I am with you buddy I love wrestling also and have a gut on myself and it makes me mad too that they do not have the shirts.People have to consider that not only little scrawny people watch wrestling.You ever see the audience there are more bigger people than there are smaller people.But Vince and every other wrestling company wants to keep a certain ''look'' going on like if someone is wearing a shirt that is well ''sexy''in some peoples eyes that do not watch wrestling they figure hey I will check it out and hopefully by seeing the wrestlers will make them want to get more in shape.It is all about image buddy but I know where you are coming from.

Assuming you mean like, competitive high school or collegiate wrestling....\n\nIt's both.  :)  From what I have seen, Greco-Roman does focus more on strength, whereas freestyle or folkstyle does more technique, but the differences are small.\n\nYou are going to need strength so you can maintain position and not get pinned or scored on by your opponent's technique.  Likewise, you will need technique so you can find the leverage *within the rules* to overcome your opponent's strength, as a lot of the ways technique *can* overcome superior strength almost require you to break the rules regarding "torturous" technique or illegal submission attempts, such as hammer-locking an arm past the 90-degree mark, for example.\n\nOne thing I would work on though, is doing diverse strength training....you likely know you should be doing squats to develop leg power so you can shoot in for a takedown...another idea is to work on pullups and/or seated rows to develop *pulling* arm strength to back up that shoot.\n\nBut yes, you need both.  Especially in freestyle, especially in the lower weight divisions.\n\nHope this helps.  :)

Oh My Lord. Why is this in the wrestling section?

You have to remember you where in high school. All it is is one big popularity contest and most don't know who they are or what they want. You are in the real world now and people are totally different.

Backyard Wrestling, not interested. Grow up, it's entertainment, not reality. Except for the Olympics and NCAA.

Absolutely not - injuries in other sports (okay, Football) are much more common and generally more severe. With good coaching, wrestling is extremely safe.

In high schools? I don't know if it's a good idea, but you can certainly argue that it increases self-confidence, builds healthier body, trains better hand and eye coordination, etc.

High school in the US is a popularity contest: who can have the cutest bf/gf, who can make the cheerleading squad/football team, etc. I enjoyed high school, I had friends, I'm not trying to be cynical, but it was always about who was the most popular flavor of the month. Kids cheated all the time on exams, I did too (mainly on homework), it didn't seem to be a big deal. I regret it now though, I should've just learned the info then b/c now I'm in college and don't know how to do somethings I should've learned in high school! Hope that all makes sense.

1st of all, coaches have been doing this type of thing forever, he didnt hurt the kid, the kid nor his parents, nor anyone saw it as out of line that was involved. 2nd of all, you asked this question twice, and furthermore it has nothing to do with wrestling

Depends on which type of wrestling we are talking about.  If we're talking WWE type wrestling it is scripted...BUT (big but) those guys and girls still take some shots and still get banged up.  They have to learn how to fall, get hit, etc and they do take those hits.\n\nIf we're talking about High School, College, or what they call "real pro wrestling" then that is real and is a true sport.  \n\nWWE, WWF, etc is purely for entertainment....other wrestling or "real" wrestling is a sport.\n\nGood luck with becoming a diva though!

If they had a new show on tv about amateur wrestling, maybe it would get some people interested. Americans are mostly interested in professional sports. The school football or basketball team is included because these guys can be recruited into the pros. Other than that, people aren't really interested in amateur sports.\n\nI've watched it sometimes, but I don't know all the rules and  so it gets confusing and then boring for me after a while. Maybe other folks feel the same way.

No - football and basketball teach young people teamwork and how to work within a system, and learn from those who know more than them (coaches, upper-classmen). Skateboarding promotes none of those things.

it depends. the smaller the school the more clicky it will be. large high schools with big populations are easier to get through. by the way, not every single person in highschool is a jock or supermodel as depicted on t.v.

I'm a high school teacher, and I think it would be interesting to look at eating disorders among high school athletes, particularly wrestlers.  There is tremendous pressure on these young men to maintain their weight and ranking.  There has been enough written and research regarding young women, but I think that school-sanctioned disordered eating patterns in wrestlers and football players needs to be investigated.

It usually slap the Crippler Crossface on them to show how fake it really is.  Wrestling is good mindless fun.  I like it.
