There is no Harder Day than Wrestling Day

In Striking & Jujitsu you can find spots to “Rest”

Wrestling provides no such safe haven

There is no where to go

You have to confront the Man trying to physically impose his will on you

Wrestling dates back to the days of Ancient Greece as a way to train soldiers for combat

The Ancient Greeks were on to something, that still holds true to this day.

Wrestling = Struggle
Life = Struggle

How will you respond to life’s struggles?

👇🏽
Will You Rise to the occasion?
Will you fold under the pressure?

Due to:

- Lack of Preparation
- Lack of Endurance
- Lack of Heart
- Lack of Self Belief

In battle all is revealed

It’s a high level chess game with violent consequences
Before you answer the question of whether you will rise to the occasion or not

Did you prepare efficiently?

Everyday you walk in the gym for practice you have a choice:

- Easy Rounds
- Hard Rounds

Each come with a price

Easy Rds = Good Day
Hard Rds = Good Fight

There is a reason most high level Ufc fighters are wrestlers.

They have endured years of:

- Discipline
- Sacrifice
- Dieting
- Grinding

Those wrestling rooms turn Boys to Men through years of unrelenting work

Building Physical & Mental fortitude through the Grind

I earned a Division 1 football scholarship. Played multiple sports in my life. Fought professionally

No other athletes can push as hard as wrestlers from my experience.

Their threshold to endure is so much higher than other athletes

One of the Greatest performances in Olympic history

Was by an American Wrestler named Dan Gable

Arguably the greatest American wrestler and athlete of all time

He won the 1972 gold medal in freestyle wrestling without surrendering a single point in any Olympic match

👇🏽
Let’s dig deeper into Mr. Gable’s Performance and history

Mr. Gable was 117-1 in college

His performance in 72’ is equivalent to the 98’ Chicago Bulls never losing a game

Complete perfection. It’s a shame his performance doesn’t get talked about more

Utter domination

👇🏽
Now Let’s take a look at Mr. Gable’s history and mental makeup

When he was 15. His 19 year old sister was sexually assaulted & murdered in his home. His parents wanted to move

Gable refused to let them move instead he moved into his sisters room.

Talk about perseverance.

Each one of my teammates in the picture above is a high level wrestler except for me

Each one of them have been a champion on some level in MMA
(so was I)

Two Ufc champions in the picture & 3 more, if the Gods see fit

They pushed me past my limits & I got better for it
