Seth Jones is a senior who is one of the captains on the wrestling team. This year is his third year on the wrestling team.
Last year, Jones had hoped for a really great season and had even worked out really hard on it. But unfortunately he had broken his hand the Monday after Christmas. This caused him to be out for the rest of the season but he said that “[he] did not stop going to the matches. [He] would go to every match and would support and cheer on for [his] teammates.
This year, Jones would like to improve on his wrestling skills. “Since [he] had gotten up [his] strength, [he] thinks that it is time to work on improving wrestling techniques. So when the time comes, [he] would be able to use them.”
Jones thoughts on wrestling is that “it is one of the hardest sports [he] had done.” Jones said that “[wrestling] is one of the most physically demanding sports with a constant work out.¨ He had also said that “not only is the exercise part demanding, but the diet that it takes with the exercising makes it even harder, constantly trying to keep a certain weight so you can wrestle as low as possible.”
The reason why Jones like wrestling is because “[he] loves the hard and challenging it is, the tradition behind wrestling and as well as the people [he] had met. [He] also likes the feeling of when [he] wins a match because [he] knows that [he] did it [himself] and that [he] was the one who had put the work in to win the match.
Jones had joined the wrestling team is because a lot of his friends were on the wrestling team and said how fun it was. He recalled that “[he] went to one of the captains practice and soon fell in love with the sport. “
Jones hobbies are mostly lifting weights. He said that “[He] is a big fan of working out so [he] really likes to work out and spends a lot of days doing it. [He] like to do anything physical to get [himself] moving.”
Jones believes that the wrestling team is going to be different this year than last year. While there are not as many wrestlers on the team, “the few members who are on the team are really good this year, a lot better than past years.”
Jones said that “[he] 100% recommends people to try [wrestling] and at least give it a chance”. He also said that “wrestling is almost like a life lesson and will teach you how not to give up”. He added that “joining the team would make you able to meet new people to become close to each other...Wrestling is like no other sport”.
Jones said that “No one give wrestling a chance, I am not going to lie it is not always fun.” He said that it is not alway fun waking up in the morning on the weekend to do three matches. He had said that if you give wrestling a try you will learn, and that you will go through it and you will change from wrestling. He said that “not many people know how hard we work just to hear it be called a stupid sport.” He said that “almost 3 hours of practices everyday, some of use even lift weights after practice.” He said that “giving wrestling a try would change your life.”
