Recently a friend of mine asked me, Why do I call wrestlers fish? I told her that there are three types of fish, in my opinion.

1) I believe that every beginner is a fish because he or she has not done anything yet in the sport. They don't understand the rules and the pride wrestlers have in not getting pinned.

2) The second type of fish is a wrestler who always gets pinned.

3) The third type of fish is an established wrestler who loses his or her heart and quits during a match. This is the worst type of fish, in my own opinion. I call these wrestlers SUPER FISH!

So, if you are a wrestler who falls under the first two categories of fishes keep fighting. I believe that you can get better, because you keep coming back to the wrestling room and learning. Just say to yourself, I'm not a fish and I'm not going to get pinned!

Established wrestler(s) if you find yourself in the role of a super fish. It's never good to called a fish, so have some pride about yourself and prove people and the label wrong. The way to do that is through hard work and listening to people who have more experience than you. To be a super fish in my book means you have an established good background in the sport.

Super Fish(es) revert your attitude and habits back to what got you to the top.

In wrestling people have short memories, so prove yourself everytime you step on the mat.
