❤️ LOVE THE SPORT

Passion Fuels Excellence

● OBJECTIVE: to motivate yourself regularly by reminding yourself why you love wrestling

When people are happy/in a good mood, they adapt easier, are more creative, and have better flexible thinking. In a sport that demands regular adjustments, a positive upbeat mood will help you make mid-match adjustments a lot easier.

Also, people often focus too much on winning titles and accomplishments. When times get tough, and they often will, focusing on what you love about wrestling will help sustain you.
