There are many points throughout a wrestler’s career that are considered milestones: making the team, the first practice, the first win, the first pin, the first winning season.  Each moment of every day leads to the next milestone.
At a certain point, however, wrestlers are left with a craving that needs to be satiated.  While others are content to merely be a part of something, wrestlers sole passion is to become a champion. 

A champion is an individual who thrives in a given situation, giving everything of him/her self, and outlasting those that are aiming for the same goal or status.

A wrestler always wants to be a champion.  It is in the blood, the mind, the spirit, the being that is a competitor in all regards.  The drive to outlast in the face of adversity, the overcoming of obstacles, the sacrifices that are make, all of these things are a part of the day to day routine.

Hard workouts, meal plans, cuts, bruises, late night studying, early morning training, countless hours of video review, along with many other facets prove that wrestlers go above and beyond to breed success.  When it happens, the expectation is to give back to allow others to experience the same joys.

King’s wrestlers are a special breed of dedicated, hard-working, sacrificing champions.  They are champions for being on the mat, for being there for their teammates, for what they believe in, and champions for never giving up.  Most important, they strive to be champions for God, no matter the circumstances, and for that, they will always succeed.
