Informative Essay On Wrestling

Wrestling itself can be a dangerous sport to compete in. Although the act of wrestling isn’t the most dangerous part of the sport in general. Wrestling can be extremely stressful since a simple mistake can allow a novice wrestler to beat an All-American (someone who makes it to the final 8 in the national wrestling tournament). Sports have been an important part of my life, and wrestling is no different than the rest. Stress can be a scary thing to think about when talking about sports, and the stress it puts on people can be quite noticeable. Whether it be mixed martial arts or just plain old wrestling, weight is a deciding factor on who you wrestle.

A male should have a daily intake of around 1800- 2000 calories a day to lose weight. Healthy weight loss consists of losing no more than 2-3 pounds a week.
