Expand I agree with this line of thinking. While I have no doubt that many PSU and other wrestlers truly believe in God, studying religion/religious ideas/spirituality is also a tool that can help with self discipline and help people achieve a certain balance in their lives that might be beneficial to challenging endeavors. It's not the only way and it's not for everyone, but these ideologies come with ready-made material that make it easier to follow. Ever meet someone who is really into Yoga? A Buddhist? CrossFit enthusiasts (I kid, I kid, kinda).

First off, I know several guys who were raised by cockfighters. All those guys' kids who wrestled were all- state wrestlers with several state championships amongst them. My theory is all those guys were responsible for feeding and watering hundreds of chickens a day. Dragging that damn water hose, or worse bucket, and buckets of chickenfeed twice a day. Unloading hundreds of pounds of chickenfeed at a time from the truck. Scraping 2 inches of chicken crap with a snow shovel out of the henhouses and putting that crap, oh so carefully, into the empty paper sacks of the chickenfeed saved from earlier. Catchng mice out of the chicken feed barrels. God damn it makes me tired thinking of it. Imagine how good our wrestlers would be if Cael was a cockfighter. Edited January 29 by 666
