💭 Mindset Monday: Wrestling is Fun

Mistake:

Treating wrestling like it’s only about winning and losing.

Why it hurts:

When you put all the pressure on results, you lose sight of what really makes wrestling meaningful. That’s the challenge, the grind, and the growth along the way. Focusing only on wins and losses can drain your joy and lead to burnout.

How to fix it:

Shift your perspective: wrestling is supposed to be fun. Fun doesn’t always mean easy. Fun is pushing yourself until you’re out of breath and realizing you didn’t quit. Fun is hitting a move you’ve drilled a hundred times during a live go. Fun is walking off the mat with pride because you gave everything you had.

When you find joy in the hard work itself, you unlock a mindset that makes you tougher, more consistent, and harder to break.

This week’s challenge:

After each practice, write down one moment that was fun, even if it came during the hardest part of training. Over time, this will help you build the habit of finding joy in the struggle.
