Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Objective: To wrestle for something bigger than yourself.
Excerpt from Jake Herbert’s Why I Wrestle: Over the course of my life, I have wrestled for many different reasons. When I was little, I wrestled because I wanted to be like my father … In junior high, I wrestled because my friends did, and I was good at it … In college, I wrestled to accomplish my goals, and in the years since college, I have wrestled for the opportunity to represent my country on the grandest stage … I wrestle because it makes me a better person. I wrestle because my country needs more people like me.
