What sport is harder football or wrestling??

do you watch a ton of football and wrestling on tv ?
Whenever I can. This year, my oldest son and I watched the NCAA Div1 Championships together. The wife watched some of it with us. We try not to miss any Patriots games, or Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins. That and the news are about all I catch on TV.

And can you still wrestle today at a HS level ??
 
So far not one of the high school wrestlers I coach have so much as taken me down in over ten years.
When I got to college, I realized it was a whole new world. I had been to college practices with my older brothers, so I was ready for the vibe, but not for the speed and intensity. I picked that up right quick and got to working, Taught to a lot of freshmen who thought they were the shit. Made some life-long friends that way.

What about JV wrestling??

Are the practices much easier and shorter with only basic fundamentals?


Was college practice even far more demanding than varsity high school?

Yes I did read judo completely skips single and double leg attacks and defense

There upright stance makes them easy to shoot on and they don’t use under hooks
 
I played football and wrestled in high school and college. After which, I played rugby. All 3 sports are equally demanding, but I don't think any of them beats the Ironman.
 
I found that soccer was harder than football, baseball, wrestling, and track, but not tennis.
Soccer/tennis requires great cardio, but football and wrestling demand cardio and more strength.
 
Oh no, you do JV kids a disservice if you go easy on them.

I wish my low back was not destroyed

I would take a beginner Judo class .

Those reaping judo sweeps from both inside or outside would be excellent for me . As I have long legs . I would be able to easily defeat any untrained person.
Ain’t going to work on you through

You obviously trained a little Judo in Japan ??

You clearly know exactly how to do those sweeps and the Japanese names
Yup.

And a little more here.

Trained a lot of things in China and Japan. More briefly in SKorea. A lot of things here. One thing builds on another.

The names are no problem.

I made comments in the past saying I wished I wrestled but now I see it’s a brutal regiment of insane training

I was too uncoordinated and weak for football

I think wrestling would utterly kick my azz as they literally destroy you every practice with insane Cardio and live rolls and looks to grinding /

I assume football is similar is brutal warmups and regiment ?? Has anyone done both ??

Which is harder !?
Fred Whittingham new coach at Michigan; when he was at Utah always looked for wrestlers in his FB recruiting
