"IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE DOG IN THE FIGHT, IT'S THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT IN THE DOG" - Mark Twain
Welcome to the St. Mary Magdalen Wrestling Team Website
HOME OF THE BULLDOGS
Proudly Established in November 2006
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 than wrestling. The Wrestler, through hard work and commitment, offers more of his character than can ever be explained. It is something he carries with him through life... Through every trial, test, and tribulation. Source: Unknown
