I don't think anyone looks forward to wrestling practice. After school, and after that warm-up, I knew hell was going to be unleashed. That smell of chlorine as the freshmen are cleaning the mats, just makes you realize another hellish practice was only minutes away. I haven't played other sports, but do football, soccer, track etc players look forward to practice because they get to chill with their friends?

I am college basketball player I play point guard I love basketball

Every time I see Dan Gable look up and glare while mopping my heart stops beating.

For the lay person that isn't obsessed with college wrestling, I'll share some context. This is one of the many National Iowa championship teams from the early 2000s. This is the HWC practice where these collegiate animals are honing their skills for international (Olympic) freestyle competition. These are some of the cream of the crop in college wrestling beating the hell out of each other. Lincoln Mac, Joe Williams, Jeff McGinness, Mark Ironside and others were all multiple time NCAA champs.

This was way before early 2000’s.

Everyone talks about Gable being maniacal, they don’t talk about the fact that he is walking around with a dry mop picking up sweat so his athletes stay safe throughout the practice. That’s pretty darn special attention to detail. Gable was the right man for certain men.

The start was dope that’s like looking inside a locker room and hearing Vince Lombardi speak!

It would’ve been such a privilege to wrestle for Gable

I learned everything I ever needed to know about myself after only 2 weeks in that room.

Yes and no, white belts aren't top level athletes that Gable wants to keep from slipping and getting hurt because he wanted to win. There's a difference there, I don't mind cleaning the mats after rolling, I'm a blue belt.
