kdsmith27 14 Report post Posted July 30, 2006 Regarding academic development, the sport of wrestling has the annual distinction of being in the top 10% of all male sports in the NCAA. Graduation rates for wrestlers at the collegiate level are 22% higher than that of the general student population. Scholastically over the last six years the academic average of the top 8 wrestlers in in each of the 14 weight classes is a staggering 3.41. This has everything to do with the sport embodying discipline and time management skills as two of its primary tenets. For every wrestler has to maintain efficient weight levels, attain degrees of conditioning only previously achieved by Olympians and still schedule enough personal time to enjoy the pleasures of life. All this takes extreme self-control and individual focus as success and discipline have no limitations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
