If you’re the parent/guardian of a child who is thinking about the sport of wrestling for the first time, you may have heard some misconceptions about the sport.
Because scholastic wrestling does not receive a great deal of attention from the sports media and does not have professional ranks that sports such as football, baseball, or basketball do, many myths concerning the sport of wrestling are never challenged.
Being involved with wrestling for a number of years, I know I’ve heard some interesting ones, such as:
“I don’t want my son to start jumping off his bunk-bed like it was a wrestling ring.”
“I don’t want my son to starve himself and loose a lot of weight”
“Wrestling is dangerous.”
Many of these and other misconceptions can be answered at the following link.
