SAYVILLE WRESTLING
The exact point
of contact, physical and psychological, between man and his
sport. That is where the game is. In the bleeding, broken hands
refusing to let go because there's still time on the clock, time
for one more takedown. That is the test. This measure of
commitment and wherewithal of mind and body. It is not on the
scoreboard or when your arm is raised. Those illustrations exist
only to make the match easier to understand from the bleachers,
from living rooms, from the outside looking in. Only when we get
close do we learn where the match is truly played. It is this
intimacy that takes us past the mano a mano, through the obvious
battles with gravity, speed, and the elements, to expose the
vulnerabilities alongside the victories. And it is here that we
discover one simple truth about competition: In Wrestling as in
life, the real opponent, the only real enemy, is within. The
match is not man on man. It is self-contained __an internal
contest waged and scored by one and the same. It measures the
desire and ability to withstand the painful moment for even a
chance at glory, to endure what is temporary for the sake of what
is lifelong
