In memory of Jesse Torres. A former wrestler and coach at Castle Park High School. His life was sadly ended on January 20, 2004. Thanks Coach Torres for your contribution to the sport. You will be missed by all.
Wrestling prepares a person to fight the game of life.
The wrestler is the one athlete that must meet his
opponent and do battle completely on his own; no one
can substitute: no time outs are possible. He has no
one to check, screen, block, or assist him in any
way; there is no one to blame for his mistakes.
When he wins, he must show quiet pride and modesty.
When he loses, the responsibility is his.
Wrestling is a true sport. In other sports, when
contact is made, they blow the whistle to stop the
action; in wrestling, when contact is made, we're just
getting started. No other sport requires more sacrifice
then wrestling. The individual, through self-denial,
offers more of his character than ever be
explained here. It is something he carries with him
throughout life, and through every trial, test, and
tribulation.
A wrestling match is only a glimpse of what a wrestler goes through. You may see a wrestler on the streets running trying to keep in shape or trying to make weight. No other athlete is as self motivated as a wrestler. This sport can transform a person into the best shape of their life, and give the ability to give 100% of themselves when there is nothing left. Every wrestler knows that only the strong survives.
