Boy is that ever true! I think wrestling is similar to boxing in the area of patience.
When you get your bell rung in boxing, you have to cover up or lean until you get your senses back. When you are fighting for your breath while wrestling a good opponent you have to hang on for dear life and hope you get your second wind quickly.

True. The training aspect of wrestling is grueling. You are constantly running, doing mat drills (grass drills), lifting weights, exercises with your team, going over moves and other techniques, and of course wrestling, and wrestle offs (especially in high school). Most people are not familiar with the rules of wrestling and how you score points in a match. There are just some matches in which a wrestler knows he has a slim chance of winning, and less points are given by way of decision than with a pin. A team match is won off points, and the entire match can come down to whether one wrestler loses by way of pin or a decision off points.

"Actually, the Kentucky moment was better than winning the two National Championships, because it was the epitome of what I try to get from a team in a crisis situation."
Coach K

The shot propelled Duke to the Final Four and back-to-back National Titles. It also taught every coach around the country to guard the man throwing the ball inbounds.
