The only competitive sport I have ever played, the only one I was good at, freestyle wrestling. Looking back, I wish had taken it a bit more seriously in my freshman/sophmore years of high school. The lack of local university teams has really shot down my goal of going any where with the sport.
I loved the fact that win or lose, it was my responsibility. Only my glory in victory, only my humiliation in defeat. There was no reliance on others.
The sense of ecstasy, I got from a hard fought victory is incomparable to anything else I have experienced.
