I found this on the internet and i think it will help set the mood of how different it is to be a wrestler than any other sport.
YOU KNOW YOUR WRESTLER IF....
1. you look on the wrapper to see how much every piece of food weighs before you eat it
2. you refer to the wrestling room just as "the room"
3. you spend more time in "the room" than you do at your house
4. you roll your eyes when people say "you have to lose all that weigh by TOMORROW?"
5. you get pissed off when people say that the wrestling team is anorexic
6. you don't "play" wrestling
7. bloody noses, fat lips, and black eyes are daily encounters
8. From November to March, your natural response to anyone talking to you is "Shut the hell up. Don't talk to me."
9. I HATE TWO DAY WEIGH-INS!!!
10. you know your weight to the tenth of a pound at all times
11. when it comes to practice shorts, the shorter the better
12. you LOVE hot managers
13. there is no offseason
13. you laugh at football/basketball "two-a-days"
14. You know what somebody means when they ask "What you goin' this year?"
15. you miss school on most fridays during the season for a tournament
16. It's a freakin SINGLET!!!...not a onezie or a leotard
17. cauliflower ear
18. for any injury...tape it up and ur good
19. the first thing you say when someone walks in THE ROOM is "no shoes on the mat"
20. all the shirts in your dresser are from wrestling tournaments
21. Whenever someone says "wrestling is gay" you want to punch that person square in the face.
22. November to March your diet consists of food in bar form, ice, and gum.
23. During season, when someone asks "what are you doing this weekend?", you just laugh
24. you split an orange with 7 other people after practice and its the highlight of your week
25. you usually go to the library during lunch to avoid the sight of food
26. and then when you are in the library, you look up rankings and read the state wrestling forum online
27. the first thing people say to you when they find out you wrestle is "i was going to wrestle but..."
28. you feel completely normal wearing spandex
29. you have gained 15 pounds in the course of an hour (obviously after weigh-ins)
30. You are one and/or you know at least one person who was "held back" in eighth grade and won middle school states...again
31. you get up in the morning and ur really excited because u "floated" half a pound more than u expected over night
32. you plan a list of restaurants you want to go and food you want to eat for after the season
this is a joke parody on cutting weight and the "language of wrestling" enjoy
