Wrestling is good, overall. Girls wrestling is probably even better, v glad it's growing in popularity. Here's a breakdown:
Peggy Po's:
-Harder than basically any other sport, gives you an "If I did X at wrestling practice, I can do [insert hard task here]" mentality;
-Both an individual and team sport, so best of both worlds
-Inside
-Athletic skills developed are transferrable to later in life more than like, throwing a curve ball
-Funnier athletes than a lot of other sports (from my experience)
-Weight cutting is much more under control now than it was 15+ years ago. Insane weight cuts are much more infrequent.
-Spot on the team for every weight and body type
-It's pretty accessible for those w/out a ton of money
Nancy Neg's:
-Tied with baseball/softball for "parent demo most of this blog probably wants to hang out with the least"
-Some skin diseases, all of which are curable and found at your average daycare (except the herpes one)
-Cauliflower ear (only if you're a dummy who doesn't wear headgear)
-Early morning wake-ups and tournaments where you can spend all day somewhere and compete for maybe 12 minutes (similar to swim, basketball, baseball, etc)
