About this title

Synopsis

“I know you're going to be inspired by this book. It’s a rare look inside the sport of wrestling.” Dan GableAre you a high school wrestler or part of a family that has one? If so, you already know how hard wrestling is and how hard life also can sometimes be. Life is messy. Having a life goal of doing something very hard very well helps lay the path to a better future. In "Hitting the Mat," Dakota wants to use his quest to become a state champion wrestler as the vehicle for developing himself into a good man someday. He wants to be tough enough to lead himself and those he loves to a better life where they all win more often.However, many tough wrestlers and an even bigger and meaner world stand in Dakota's way. He has to overcome injuries, periods of low morale and self-doubt, and extremely difficult wrestling practices. A punishing diet, determined wrestlers who want to win as much as he does, and life's trials and tribulations, from which no one can escape, are trying to hold him back. Dakota must train every day harder than he has ever trained before. He must believe in the process of doing something very hard, like wrestling, will indeed transform him into a good man someday and help him win a lot of matches along the way. He has to win a state championship for his even bigger plans to fall into their proper place.Suppose Dakota gives in and takes the easier path. In that case, he certainly won't win a state championship, and he could miss out on a lifetime of opportunities to be a good man and a good leader. When things get really hard, he must choose between mediocrity and a life of being a good man who isn't afraid of doing hard things to succeed at the next level. This book is endorsed by Dan Gable, Larry Owings, Rulon Gardner, Terry Davis- Author of Vision Quest, and many more extraordinary wrestlers and extraordinary people. So, don't wait any longer to join this fantastic group of people. Invest in yourself right now by picking up this book.
