My best friend in HS played basketball. Wrestling practice was in the upper level of the gym (where they rolled out bleachers for BB games) while BB practice was on the main floor. Anytime my buddy would complain about a "hard" practice, I would belittle him mercilessly. At one time or another, I played every major sport (baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, track, hockey...NOT saying I was any good at some of them). The hardest practice in any of those sports never remotely compared to the easiest wrestling practice.
I pity the kids really into wrestling these days. It's somehow become a nearly every day, year round commitment, if you want to really excel. I guess it's the same in most any sport, but I remember when you did this stuff because it was fun, not because you had to. Heck, I'd wrestle a handful of freestyle tourneys during the off season and that was considered hardcore back in my time. Now, it's JRob and other camps all summer long, if you even want a legit chance of going to state, and even that isn't enough for most kids.
