The Best Sport - Period

Greetings. 

If you are reading this, you are either a fan of wrestling or, you thought this was a blog about WWF.  If it's the later, "hasta la vista, baby."

I wrestled in high school and college.  While not the world's greatest wrestler, I won more than my share.  More importantly, I came away from the sport a different person than I was when I first went in.

I started as a high school freshman.  I weighed 80 pounds.  Back then, the lightest weight class was 95 pounds.  I could make weight fully clothed with all of my school books in my arms.  That very first year, I lost 50% of my matches.

But I learned how to win over time.

I am blogging to satisfy my need to stay in touch with the sport.  I coach wrestling at Novato High School.  My son is on the team.  I watch it on those rare occasions it is on television.  I read about it.  I dream about it.

An now I blog about it.

Feel free to join me.

Jim
