When I wrestled I was always given this advice "respect your opponent but never more than you respect yourself". If you play head games with yourself, you don't win matches. You have to believe that you done everything you could do during the week to get ready for the match. Only when you believe you can win, will you win. Trust me on this. I went 3 years before I won my first match. And the first time I won, I knew I was going to win! After that, I took the mentality that I deserved to win every time I got on the mat. I started winning like crazy. Good luck man.

ok chill man y r u a wrestler if u get scared, u need to think about how good u are urself and imagine the guy ur wrestling is like a chicken or pigeon or something also it should be fun for u to wresstle, i used to be a receiver on my football team and i loved catching but i hated tackling drills, but after a couple of years i realized i had to love tackling and be excited to tackle instead of scared, and practice became a lot more fun

It's all in your mind. Think about other wrestlers who were the underdog and defeated their opponents.
Strength and muscularity have much less to do with winning than technique and the desire to win (heart).
You can win!!!

just don't concentrate on his masculinity and strong, flowing, moist muscles. a ***** is NOT what you need when you wrestle.
