For all of you that think that wrestling is gay and a waste of time, let me tell you something from personal experience. Joining wrestling is the best decision I have ever taken. The rawest form of physical sport, no balls, no bats, no nets, no hoops. Wrestling will teach you so much, do it, it gets you into great shape and will make you a better person on and off the mat.
RafeedHossainTV My 12 year old son is a sports fanatic. I love wrestling and it took me 4 years of begging him to just try ONE season of it. He loves it and is so proud of his accomplishments in just one year. He actually said I was right!!!
RafeedHossainTV after starting jiu jitsu i have so much respect for wrestling, looks so hard you cant just pull guard sometimes when you cant be fucked.
Wrestling is a tough sport my team started with over 40 kids and now we only have around 19 and I'm proud of the people who stuck it out because they are the toughest kids in the whole school...
I wrestled in high school and I joined the team as a scrawny, tall and lanky 15 year old boy who had no self-confidence or belief in himself. I was a sad pathetic self-pitying kid who was still heart broken over his ex gf from eighth grade, and she had moved on and couldn't care less about me. I am so grateful for my friend convincing me that I should join the wrestling team, it was the best decision I have ever made. Wrestling forced me to grow stronger mentally, you can't have a weak mind and wrestle, the sport is so demanding that it will crush anyone the minute they accept defeat and give up. I remember going to practice every day after school in the beginning and getting my ass handed to me, but I didn't give up. Going through all that pain, those 5 mile team runs after practice is over, wrestling countless matches in practice, sprints immediately after the matches end. Wrestling turned me into a man, I experienced first hand what hard work was really like, I saw what it took to be successful. Nothing will ever compare to the feeling of the referee raising my arm in the arm after winning a match. I remember winning my first match perfectly, I re-live it when i'm studying or in need of motivation. Getting that feeling instantly flips a switch inside me. I love this sport and to all the wrestlers out there, never give up.
UntamedOutlaw89 nah man I just appreciate the effort that all these wrestlers put into preparing for their season. It's a humbling sport and so much fun to watch!
This sport has really changed me both mentally and physically. I've been in the best shape of my life since I've joined this wonderful sport. It has also made me a better person in school and my work ethic. Those ball players will never understand how hard this sport is and how scary it is. When you play your first basketball game it's not as nerve racking because you're playing as a team. However, in wrestling it's all you and only you and it will take everything you have. This sport will test your endurance and how much your body can take.
I have watched this video at least 200 times since this summer. i listen to it when I dont "feel" like weight training or working out. I listen to it while I work out. Wrestling is a sport like no other. It has changed me from a 96lb boy into an 132lb man. Wrestling will forever be a part of my life. I just want to let all my fellow wrestlers know that you are not alone. "Once who have wrestled, everything else in life is easy" ~ Dan Gable
Wrestling is the only sport that has the unique beauty that makes you love the sport. Every fckn day even though im tired af its like i still wanna wrestle, because i feel i achieve something in my life when i wrestle.
REIOLO I think any grappling or combat based sport has that feeling. It stems from a victory is self earned. Wins and losses are earned through hard work and nothing else.
I wrestled from ages 13-16; as a 22 year old I still watch this video for inspiration. Wrestling, despite the brevity of my time doing it, has been an important step in building my character. You younger lads out there: keep it up
The way I joined wrestling at 15 years of age was by knowing so many close friends in the sport. The camaraderie is fantastic. So many of the wrestlers were good students as well.
@drumlover49 Yes. I was tied for first in high school class but I put as much time into wrestling as anything else. I was good, way above average but not excellent in wrestling. I was happy and it is the real measurement that matters
@drumlover49 Maybe.. I just wish I was young again!. My parents have passed on, and I wish I had told them more appreciative comments. Well, I am writing about them in a publication. Raising a child is difficult. I think of my parents And they thought of their parents.
I remember i used to watch this everyday day in the summer going into my junior year of high school . Even went to the j rob Camo 28 days in Wisconsin . Nothing will ever beat the true grit Minnesota had back then . Things were just different
+jack witwicki oh because running a marathon doesn't make you sweat at all or sprinting and taking brief jogging periods and hitting each other as hard as you can in 100 degrees heat won't make you sweat
Damn this here makes me miss wrestling, miss the training, miss the friendship, miss the working the hardest my body can physically go and pass it’s limits. Went from 260 to 185 in my freshmen year of high school. Gotta hit the mats again.
This video just reminds me what I’ve been through and I won’t let anything break me because of wrestling. Getting emotional during this song is and understatement.
Almost finished with my first season as a junior in high school (Late, I know). And boy can I say that this is the hardest sport I played. Football conditioning may be worse, but wrestling practices and matches are a million times harder. Trying to lift and move someone your weight, who's fighting you back, while going as hard and fast as you can is one of the hardest things ever. But My coaches are awesome and chill, I'm on an awesome team with good friends, and I'm learning valuable skills for fighting. Also, I love getting the most out of my weight - cutting down as much body fat as possible and gaining as much muscle as possible while still staying in my class. I love stepping on the scale to see that I've dropped a few more pounds, or that my arms look more toned. My only regret about wrestling is that I didn't do it sooner
Always worth it when you land that one technique you've been drilling over & over though, right? I remember landing my first takedown in practice. I was so excited. I still get a sense of happiness when I get a takedown now
got my MMA debut this weekend and coming back to this is that 15 year old kid waiting in anticipation of the bus on the way to the state qualifier, still with the same goal, same angst, same grind, pushing your body to the limit and knowing that it’s all about the choices you make, revives a part in me every time. love this video, long live gable, long live the old timers that gave us grit
I find myself returning to this video, it’s saved my life many times. Just an update, I actually won my debut, TKO in 3rd round and decided to pursue a college degree. And when I’m down, or depressed, smoking cigarettes, in bed, I remember, “it’s all about choices, the smallest choices we make will ultimately shape a large part of our future” and I get up and fight back. We’re wrestlers DAMNIT!!!
not very many people respect wrestling. they just think were all gay for touching other guys all sweaty and shit. fuck that wrestlers are badass. we dont go to practice everyday to get all sweaty with a bunch of dudes. we go because theres no other sport that pushes u to a breaking point. wrestling builds character, and confidence. not everyone can be a wrestler u have to have heart and determination. wrestling= greatest sport in the world.
Theres no greater pride then knowing how much heart and soul ive put into wrestling and what i've accomplished against all odds and no matter how much some people doubted me in who i couldn't beat or what i couldn't do and just putting my life into this sport and showing everyone that I could become someone great. That goes for every wrestler out there, if you have the heart and drive there's no one that can come between you and greatness.
You guys have my respect. Wrestling to me is not just a sport, it feels like you're building a family with your team. And just because we're touching and grabbing when we're all sweaty doesn't make us gay. Its a part of the sport.
That is the most true thing that I've heard bout wrestling it builds a family with ur team and ur coach when the season ends ur already dieing to be wrestling with those guys again
That's what you do, my coach tells me all the time "how bad do you want it?" "You cheat yourself you cheat the team." "If one does it we all do it." It's not just a sport it's life once you join you just don't quit you keep going even when it's your 3 match l, that's when you push even harder because the other person will get even more tired.
A freshman this year after his first practice telling me "I joined because I wanted to help get ready for next football season thinks this would be no problem, but I think football barely even prepared me for this grind, holy shit." I was dying
Watching this video truly made me realize how much I miss wrestling. Not just the sport itself but the family and memories you build on the mat. I’ve done wrestling for 3 years then freshman year came along and COVID hit. And man, let me tell you how disappointed I am that I missed a year wrestling. Sure I am in the weight room lifting and getting in the best shape possible before next season comes around but nothing compares to duals, tournaments, those painful last sprints, and the incredible bond you build on the mat with coaches and friends. Next year I will come back as strong as I can and make up for it!💪
I remember seeing this video both my junior & senior year everyday before practice started at 4...man i had the scenes & music of this video stuck in my head for the entire 2hrs & 30mins. Of practice:) it totally pumped me up! Espically when running! That made sprint almost the entire 3 miles before mat drills :') i miss wrestling :/ why did i have to graduate this year :'(
Americans are truly lucky to be able to compete in a high school level in wrestling. I grew up in Australia and I was forced to participate in sports I was never interested in, I think wrestling would of been something I would of actually enjoyed...I'm 27 now feel like the time has past.
Andy Macks I feel what you say Andy..I`m 22 and live in India and never had real sports to play throughout my school and college. Austrailia has a great sports culture but my country doesnt. But so what I couldnt enjoy sports at school, I would enjoy them NOW!
Same problem.Didn't got the chance to start any sport in my youth.So many chances you have in America to do what you want and lots of people are still doing drugs.Stupid!
This convinced me to joined my high school wrestling team and I loved it ever since. It was absolutely one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, I lost 70 pounds in order to make my desired weight class of 162. The grueling training, food management and committing your social life to this beautiful sport was worth the hand raise on another teams mat. :D
Love wrestling, started in middle school & wrestled in high school, went through injuries & cutting weight, hard practices where you wanna quit but like the video says that's the beauty of it, it makes you stronger because like my coaches said after you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Still do volunteer coaching on the said because I just can't get away from it. Greatest sport ever.
AWESOME VIDEO GUYS! IN WRESTLING THERE'S A WEIGHT CLASS FOR ALL WALKS OF THE LIFE. IF YOU GOT THE HEART THEN WRESTLING IS FOR YOU. WRESTLING SAVES LIVES!
I wish wrestling was popular in my country, I live in one of the biggest cities in my country (Brazil) and doesn't have any gym that teaches wrestling -
Inspiring! Finding those who inspire are few and far between, but that what makes them so special when you find those people, and the hardships they have gone through and the characters that has built are what make them shine above the rest, like the brightest stars compared to the others, they stand out and catch the eye.
Make more like this really turned the way of my season and how I go out there and practice and perform love it listen to it all the time hope one day to get to minn to wrestle all of the wrestlers I look up to they are amazing I went from a 500 percentage to a 987 the next year this pushed me to do that make more like this please #CHANGEDMYLIFE #loveit
Going through an ACL rehab and missing the mats so bad. This video gave me the motivation I needed. I will never give up on my dreams no matter what it takes to reach the top. ⚔️
Thank you! I had been feeling sorry for myself after having heart problems. I thought my high school athletics were over. I have made a full recover, but gained a lot of weight during my time of injury. This video has caused me to stop feeling sorry for myself and am 10 pounds closer to my normal weight class of 152.
I started wrestling since last year am I originally was 260 in the 285 weight class and since I wasn't tall or strong I got my ass handed to me, now it is my second year and I've been doing nothing but barely eating and working out and I'm 10 pounds from my goal of 220s. So your not alone in trying to drop weight and if you got Amy tips you would care to pass down to someone who never dieted before it would be truly appreciated as I get closer to my goal trying to shed of those last few pounds in such a short time is proving to be pretty difficult, thank you
Hingle Mc Cringleberry keep a similar diet just reduce the volume you are eating and don't eat any carbs after dinner. Also a few days before your weigh in cut down on salt as it helps retain water and don't drink the day of of course
this was amazing, I just recently made my school wrestling video. and they do not compare. I ADMIRE the directors choice of angles and the editors effects. this is bad ass. GREAT JOB
The changing of the seasons brings with it a sense of anticipation We can feel it Sense it Smell it in the air As a way of exchange for bright gold and red are focused through the 6 months ahead Flights are wiped clean as The goals and expectations of winning a national title remain the same Each day will deliver a new form of adversity But we have the ability to meet it head on and overcome challenges Some people believe in faith, that our future is predetermined I believe in choices We can accept medicaory? or decide to reach beyond our capabilities Drop the weight or push through another rep Sleep in or rise early Slow down or sprint another 100 yards Stop wrestling or embrace the grind The smallest choices we make now will ultimately shape a large part of the future its all about choices and that’s the beauty of it the season has arrived need some correction on this, some parts were difficult to hear, thanks
+Minnesota Elite thank you. i couldn't figure it out because you spliced it together/removed certain portions of the song so i could not quite tell. well done video.
As I age along this journey called life I can guarantee you, the youth, one thing. That one thing is that every chapter of your life has its levels of adversity. It doesn't get any easier, but we the few understand that the faster we learn how to befriend pain the easier life gets. For you that are about to begin to partake in this beauty of a sport just know that you will take this experience with you until the day you die. Once a wrestler, always a wrestler. 🙏
dont feel bad i dislocated my shoulder twice in one year from wrestling and went through surgery and will never be able to wrestle ever again. all i can say is come back bigger faster and stronger it will come back
That was a kick ass video. I have wrestling practice tomorrow, I am in the 285lbs category. but I only weigh 205lbs... wish me luck, we have another match next week Friday at my high school.
For all of you that think that wrestling is gay and a waste of time, let me tell you something from personal experience. Joining wrestling is the best decision I have ever taken. The rawest form of physical sport, no balls, no bats, no nets, no hoops. Wrestling will teach you so much, do it, it gets you into great shape and will make you a better person on and off the mat.
It's all true. Wrestling makes so fit, better than any other sport.
once youve wrestled, everything else is easy

hiddenshores isn't there any really???😦 seriously...
Perviz Kerimli ofc there is but not in school and you have to pay
hiddenshores gotcha!
Exactly, wrestling is for pathetic rejects like Will here :-\
This song along with the video gives me chills and slightly brings tears to my eyes.
UntamedOutlaw89 nah man I just appreciate the effort that all these wrestlers put into preparing for their season. It's a humbling sport and so much fun to watch!
Man I miss wrestling it was my life I just wanna go on that high school mat one more time

You don't know what sweating is until you get through a wrestling practice
those 8lbs practices lol
+jack witwicki Wouldn't be so bad if the room wasn't 100 degress
MeistGaming true, but the heat was always on during my practices
+jack witwicki oh because running a marathon doesn't make you sweat at all or sprinting and taking brief jogging periods and hitting each other as hard as you can in 100 degrees heat won't make you sweat

Except other wrestlers
+Mtthew 123 exactly
baconbits beercanbits Kinda glad I'm done working that hard but always miss a little of it
Ya me to I do jiu jitsu now its not as hard but similar
boxing is up there too
Wrestling and swimmers face the most challenges physical and mentally and the end result all determines on how hard you work as an individual.
Did you just compare wrestling with a water activity
+Space CowBoy Jose lol
+Space CowBoy Jose hahahaha the fuck the fucking fuck
I'll always watch this video if I'm lacking mental determination! watching this video alone restores a relentless will.
so lucky that in america there are these opportunities.
unfortunately ...i live in italy :((((
Wrestling is big in other countries too just freestyle

People who are having the chance to start wrestling from a young age are blessed!
I hope their will be a 2014-2015 video like this, same song too it ties the whole thing together
Anyone out there feel like arguing that wrestling is the toughest sport on the planet?
No one should I play football and run track. Wrestling by far is one of the hardest sports out there and this coming from a team captain
Its hard as hell, but its worth it.
As someone that has played hella sports , I can confirm that it is
Its mixed martial arts. And some other combat sport they are diffcult too
No, it’s easy.
Wrestling is a sport that not many can do..
So true
Proud to say I did 8 years till I graduated I wouldn't change it for the world
A freshman this year after his first practice telling me "I joined because I wanted to help get ready for next football season thinks this would be no problem, but I think football barely even prepared me for this grind, holy shit." I was dying

I remember seeing this video both my junior & senior year everyday before practice started at 4...man i had the scenes & music of this video stuck in my head for the entire 2hrs & 30mins. Of practice:) it totally pumped me up! Espically when running! That made sprint almost the entire 3 miles before mat drills :') i miss wrestling :/ why did i have to graduate this year :'(
Americans are truly lucky to be able to compete in a high school level in wrestling. I grew up in Australia and I was forced to participate in sports I was never interested in, I think wrestling would of been something I would of actually enjoyed...I'm 27 now feel like the time has past.
never give up on you're dream man, never
Andy Macks I feel what you say Andy..I`m 22 and live in India and never had real sports to play throughout my school and college. Austrailia has a great sports culture but my country doesnt. But so what I couldnt enjoy sports at school, I would enjoy them NOW!
+Andy Macks you can start playing any sport whenever you want. It's never too late buddy!
Same problem.Didn't got the chance to start any sport in my youth.So many chances you have in America to do what you want and lots of people are still doing drugs.Stupid!
Jim Lahey Yeah, americans are lucky in many, many, MANY ways and they still don't notice it
i watch this video around the beginning of every wrestling season and i don’t even wrestle anymore lmao it’s great
This convinced me to joined my high school wrestling team and I loved it ever since. It was absolutely one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, I lost 70 pounds in order to make my desired weight class of 162. The grueling training, food management and committing your social life to this beautiful sport was worth the hand raise on another teams mat. :D
wrestling will always be my philosphy
Love wrestling, started in middle school & wrestled in high school, went through injuries & cutting weight, hard practices where you wanna quit but like the video says that's the beauty of it, it makes you stronger because like my coaches said after you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Still do volunteer coaching on the said because I just can't get away from it. Greatest sport ever.
AWESOME VIDEO GUYS!
IN WRESTLING THERE'S A WEIGHT CLASS FOR ALL WALKS OF THE LIFE. IF YOU GOT THE HEART THEN WRESTLING IS FOR YOU.
WRESTLING SAVES LIVES!
Not if your 286+
I wish wrestling was popular in my country, I live in one of the biggest cities in my country (Brazil) and doesn't have any gym that teaches wrestling -
Dam bright
José Genuino
Come to America, there are plenty :)
Good luck this season , Gophers! We are proud of you and can't wait to watch you all this year! Best wishes, from Elk River youth wrestling!
Makes we want to come back next year
Inspiring!
Finding those who inspire are few and far between, but that what makes them so special when you find those people, and the hardships they have gone through and the characters that has built are what make them shine above the rest, like the brightest stars compared to the others, they stand out and catch the eye.
This Makes me Train harder then ever
truee
Same
I feel the same way.
This is a great video i watch it before every meet
Make more like this really turned the way of my season and how I go out there and practice and perform love it listen to it all the time hope one day to get to minn to wrestle all of the wrestlers I look up to they are amazing I went from a 500 percentage to a 987 the next year this pushed me to do that make more like this please #CHANGEDMYLIFE #loveit
One of the most inspiring videos on the internet
This video is an 11/10, would watch again but I do anytime I need to be lifted!
Going through an ACL rehab and missing the mats so bad. This video gave me the motivation I needed. I will never give up on my dreams no matter what it takes to reach the top. ⚔️
Best seven minutes of my life. Anyone else?
only if the uk had serious athletic programmes like wrestling in schools and university
Well we are more serious about everything.thats why we won 😊😊😊
Well isn't I'm big in boxing you could take up that
The best motivational video ever made!
Every time I need motivation for training I come to watch this video!
Thank you! I had been feeling sorry for myself after having heart problems. I thought my high school athletics were over. I have made a full recover, but gained a lot of weight during my time of injury. This video has caused me to stop feeling sorry for myself and am 10 pounds closer to my normal weight class of 152.
I started wrestling since last year am I originally was 260 in the 285 weight class and since I wasn't tall or strong I got my ass handed to me, now it is my second year and I've been doing nothing but barely eating and working out and I'm 10 pounds from my goal of 220s. So your not alone in trying to drop weight and if you got Amy tips you would care to pass down to someone who never dieted before it would be truly appreciated as I get closer to my goal trying to shed of those last few pounds in such a short time is proving to be pretty difficult, thank you
Hingle Mc Cringleberry keep a similar diet just reduce the volume you are eating and don't eat any carbs after dinner. Also a few days before your weigh in cut down on salt as it helps retain water and don't drink the day of of course
Thanks man I already made it to 220 I'll try that on my way down to 195s though, thank you
this was amazing, I just recently made my school wrestling video. and they do not compare. I ADMIRE the directors choice of angles and the editors effects. this is bad ass. GREAT JOB
My wrestling coach showed my team this video before we went to state duels and we got third place! !
respect from greece
Watching these guys motivate the heck out of me!! Wrestlers are some of the best athletes ever along side The Special Forces💪
I LOVED WRESTLING AND I MISS SO MUCH I KEEP TRAINING LIKE IM ON THE MAT.
The greatest sports game - WRESTLING

Nothing teaches respect and confidence better than wrestling .
One of my favorite videos, any time I feel unmotivated this video gives my the push to go after it. Embrace the grind !
1M THUMBS UP FOR THIS VIDEO
fuck yea our first practice of this year is in 3 days #wrestlingislife
Tomorrow is mine to i just finished training camp
Good luck bruh!!!!
Thanks to the person who made this vid, awesome!
I miss wrestling so much
Wrestling is the sport that let me relieve my frustration it sometimes made me feel worthless but i overcame that and became the man i see today
The changing of the seasons brings with it a sense of anticipation
We can feel it
Sense it
Smell it in the air
As a way of exchange for bright gold and red are focused through the 6 months ahead
Flights are wiped clean as The goals and expectations of winning a national title remain the same
Each day will deliver a new form of adversity
But we have the ability to meet it head on and overcome challenges
Some people believe in faith, that our future is predetermined
I believe in choices
We can accept medicaory? or decide to reach beyond our capabilities
Drop the weight or push through another rep
Sleep in or rise early
Slow down or sprint another 100 yards
Stop wrestling or embrace the grind
The smallest choices we make now will ultimately shape a large part of the future
its all about choices and that’s the beauty of it
the season has arrived
need some correction on this, some parts were difficult to hear, thanks
Such an epic video!
Beautiful video
If it wasn't for wrestling than I wouldn't be successful in other sports. Because of wrestling I made the varsity track team.
How is that so?
+MMC also builds impeccable work ethic & endurance
Graduated 2013. I wish I would have wrestled in HS.. but anyways this video is still inspiring me in 2024. I wonder where these guys are at now.
This inspired me to go out and workout
This is awesome
What is the song playing in the background during the first 2 minutes? While he is writing and talking. Before the vanladylove song.
Erik, it is from the soundtrack of the movie "The Village." The song is called "The Gravel Road."
+Minnesota Elite thank you. i couldn't figure it out because you spliced it together/removed certain portions of the song so i could not quite tell. well done video.
Neverland
Beautiful video. One of the best
great video extremely motivating
What song is in the vid
1:25 Brock Lesnar on wall :D
This videos is very inspiring and beautiful ❤️❤️ I watched this watch wayyy back in middle school. Beautiful🔥❤️❤️
As I age along this journey called life I can guarantee you, the youth, one thing. That one thing is that every chapter of your life has its levels of adversity. It doesn't get any easier, but we the few understand that the faster we learn how to befriend pain the easier life gets. For you that are about to begin to partake in this beauty of a sport just know that you will take this experience with you until the day you die. Once a wrestler, always a wrestler. 🙏
Damn, I miss wrestling.
The coolest video ever.
So you wanna be a wrestler, eh? Just watch this video and be honest with yourself about whether you can endure the sacrifice.
Watched this video a thousand times. Still always lose my mind at 3:48 😂
i love this Video so fkn much.. greatings from germany
Solid motivational video. Major Salute from iWontLose
when are they gonna make more videos? These are awesome!!! thanks!
The memories of highschool
Great video! Can you tell me what the name of the music is in the beginning of the video that is of classical nature?
I think I'm coming back to my home sport after two years off, it will be hard though. ✊
Damn I remember this video came out, I was the first couple hundred views
I dislocated my knee in practice my first year of wrestling and im missing every match :(

Great video guys!
