Replies lagrappla Posted at 9:33 pm on Oct. 23, 2008 Wrestling is a tough sport. It will humble you quickly. Remember noone ever just walked into a wrestling room and were instantly a great wrestler. Everyone starts somewhere just like you are doing. You will get stronger as you go, physically and mentally. As far as your cardio, you need to do more than what you guys are doing in your room. When you get home you need to run on your own, and jump rope for a while ( 2 minutes on, stance for 1 minute, jump for 2, ball up for 1, etc. ) Moves will come but you need to drill hard for hours, they will become second nature before you know it. Believe me there are many first year guys who could tell you how many lights were out in the gym. Just keep plugging man, you'll get it. justscott Posted at 5:56 pm on Oct. 23, 2008 STICK WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
