I enjoyed playing bball growing up but kind of wish my parents would have known that wrestling was probably a better choice for someone who was never going to get over 6ft tall at a 6A high school.
I didn't start wrestling until my sophomore year of high school after getting cut from the basketball team because nobody needs a 5'9 SF. Definitely the hardest sport I've ever played, I would compare it to maxing out lifting weights and sprinting at the same time on and off for 6 minutes.
I ended up going to state twice and winning a couple of matches because I mastered one move (over under toss) but when I faced people who had been wrestling since they were kids I was out of my league.
