If you had to pick a winter sport what would it be? Wrestling or Basketball? One is a team sport and one is an individual sport with team points.
Wrestling is a tough sport that involves lots of work and experience if you want to be good. It is the worlds oldest competitive sport traced back to 3,000 BC. Wrestling was added as an olympic sport in 708 BC. Basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891 when he was at Springfield College. There are 14 weight classes in highschool wrestling. One kid for each class on a varsity team. In basketball there are 20 players on a roster and only 5 get to play at a time.
In wrestling losing weight is not fun but it is better than not playing. I would much rather wrestle and become a better football player. On the other hand I could eat whatever I wanted still if I played basketball. I do not find basketball that fun so with or without food I would wrestle. The best part about wrestling is not wrestling. You build great relationships and get close with your team mates. Everyone is going through the workouts and suffering but we all get better. I played basketball for 6 years and have only wrestled for 3 years but I have gotten more individual growth from wrestling than basketball.
In conclusion, both are good sports but I would much rather wrestle than play basketball. There is no wear to hide in wrestling. Wrestling, in my opinion, is superior to basketball. You get so much more out of wrestling!

Good job overall Bryce. You could have replied to a few more comments and I'm not a huge fan of this or that" stories.
I think I would rather play basketball. I do cross country and track which are two mentally tough sports. I think wrestling is also a huge mindset, and it takes a toll on a persons mental health. Basketball on the other hand is very fun and competitive. It definitely is not a "break", but I do think it is something fun.
I would personally rather play basketball just because I understand the sport a little bit better compared to wrestling, I think you would get more out of wrestling because it takes a lot of mental toughness and you have to keep your weight maintained, which can take a lot of self-discipline that you don't really get out of basketball in my opinion.
I personally would play basketball because i like to play a ball sport and I like team sports more than individual sports. I get it that people take wrestling to get into a good shape and for nice competition.
I would personally choose to do basketball rather than wrestling however I know that some people like wrestling because it is a good wayo to get in really good shape and I understand why some people would much rather choose wrestling rather that basketball.
I personally would rather wrestle than play basketball, but this is mainly because I already wrestle. I think that you get much more out of wrestling than basketball. Because wrestling is such a mentally tough sport it teaches you how to have self-discipline and gives you a great work ethic. It will also help you get in much better shape.
I would rather play basketball than wreslte because I don't understand wrestling, and I don't like the fact that you have to manage your weight. I think you would learn more from wrestling because of the mental challenges, but I would prefer basketball.
I would personally wrestle than play basketball beacause you have to stay in shape and stay on a strict diet, not only will it get you in shape it will make you gain muscle and strentgh, I belive a lot of people enjoy wrestling over basketball.
Personally I would rather play basketball than wrestle because of the fact that you have to manage your weight and you can almost never eat because you have to hold a certain weight. Although I feel like you probably get more out of wrestling because it helps you manage yourself.
As a female I'm not really interested in doing wrestling again cuz we're in a highschool, but I enjoyed wrestling when I was in it in the past. I played basketball and just really didn't understand any of it so I didn't enjoy that at all. But sometimes it's fun to watch basketball. I would rather watch basketball over wrestling though. Overall picking which is better, in my opinion wrestling cuz it keeps you extremely conditioned and it's fun to learn and do.
