What is Wrestling?
By Ben Peterson
Wrestling
to me demands
the utmost expression of the best discipline
and courage in a man
and the driving out of fear, hesitancy and laziness.
Since man is naturally bent toward laziness,
fear of the unknown and self-indulgence,
he needs a way of changing these trends.
Wrestling
has been such an arena
for many a grateful young man.
Each one striving to rid himself
of the harmful habits of men around him
and the cowardly characteristics within him.
Each one seeking to mature
the God-given abilities within.
Wrestling
cannot change the nature of man.
But it can be used to bring out qualities
that are intended to lead,
encourage, challenge, and entertain others.
I am thankful to God for the sport of wrestling
and the maturing effects in my life
and in the lives of many young men.
