Advice Needed
As stated in the title, I need some serious advice. I’m a sophomore in high school right now, who wrestled 215 last year. tore my labrum first meet, wrestled through it and multiple dislocations (unbeknownst to me lol), and eventually had surgery after the season ended. after physical therapy and much deliberation, I took this year (my sophomore year) off from wrestling to focus on recovering my shoulder and school. for context, I’m within the top 1% nationwide for my specific area of study, and academic has always been a number one priority for me. without meaning to brag, I am very smart and have a genuine shot at gaining admissions at an Ivy League or T20 school. however, I love wrestling. the thing is, is that after taking a year off and realizing how easy life is without wrestling, I feel a bit of a block to go back to that grind lifestyle. my team needs a heavyweight, and I was quite good at heavyweight although I primarily wrestled 215. I love everything about wrestling, except the time it takes up. that’s my only thing. sorry for the rambling, but I’m basically asking if I should go back to wrestling, or just focus on my academics and try to get into the best college I can get into.
