i have to make a decision if i want to wrestle next year or quit wrestling and go skiing instead. i never get to go skiing because i have practice on weekdays and saturdays. i enjoy wrestling but i also love skiing. next year im gonna be a sophmore and our wrestling team is gonna be pretty good and ill probably have a varsity spot too. the year after that we are losing a lot of kids and i think our wrestling team is gonna suck. should i quit wrestling now or should i wait till im a junior when we suck and then quit?

you are pretty much the only one who can make this decision. you know what you want and you are the one who has to live with it. It depends on how good the skiing is, but I would say your plan is good to wrestle next year then quit next year

I'm pretty much in the exact situation you are in, except i think im gonna wrestle next year (sophmore) then quit junior year because wrestling will get me into shape for varsity football junior year.

i quit wrestling after 10 years my junior year to go skiing more often. This was after multiple sate championships too. Skiing is a forever sport. do you honestly see yourself wrestling at 30 plus? no. If your not having fun just go ski. what do you have more fun doing?

The reason I don't wrestle is because of skiing.

just out of curiosity, for those who wrestle, why do you enjoy it? maybe it's just me, but tackling other men in skimpy spandex outfits never seemed appealing. also the posibility of contracting facial herpes is a bit of a turn off for me too.

I wrestle for the enjoyment of kicking the other guys ass. It is one of the best feelings just absolutly crushing someone else. Wrestling is legalized fighting. Watch a wrestling match closley, do you think they all play clean?I also enjoy a good challenge and until you have tried wrestling you have no idea what a hard workout is. As for the suits, they really aren't that bad, you can get a full body suit if you feel like being a pussy and the facial herpes thing.... that has never happened at my school in its 40 years of a wrestling program.

I just finished 9 years of wrestling, 8-12, then 4 years of college.. for me, it was the best move i ever made... i can ski for the rest of my life, but wrestling is only there for a few years. if you enjoy wrestling, you should go for it while you still can.

if you have some high goals for skiing, such as going pro and all, then go for that one while you're still young.

if you decide to wrestle, you always have your sundays and the occasional saturdays to ski, as well as the end of the winter and breaks..

It depends how good you are compadre. I chose wrestling when this happened to me last year cause I knew I could win a bunch of tournaments if i wrestled, plus get into badass shape. If you are a good wrestler, wrestle, otherwise, ski.

this mostly depends on your own decision, i'd probably quit to go skiing just because i like skiing better but it really is all up to you
