While you think about about your homophobic gems, be sure to consider the fact cross country runners wear 2 inch shorts whole exposing their skeleton like physiques in the hopes of ever getting laid (by man or woman). Not to mention YOUR coach, who on numerous occasions has posted dick or anus pics.
While we are somewhat on the subject of mental toughness, consider what each sport does to that person's life. There is a reason why Forbes listed wrestlers as the hardest working employees in this country. Wrestlers aren't mentally weak pussies. They know when there is adversity in their lives they have to push through it. The best examples of CC runners we have on this site are:
-You, a basement dweller who bitched for 1.5 years on this site about not being able to find a job.
-ccrunner, who has reached his lifetime peak as a gym coach that couldn't afford AC until this year.
And last but not least...
-Said, who we all know has settled as a worthless POS.
I coach XC....but am not a XC runner or ever was....but my AC works great.
Surprised the thread went this way. Every sports has a lot of challenges and needs for mental toughness. I've witnessed the XC and track stuff but have incredibly few instances around wrestling...can't even speak intelligently about it. Many of the wrestlers at my school ended of being pretty worthless individuals but most also weren't very heralded wrestlers either. I imagine most great wrestlers obviously have a great work ethic. Most great XC runners that I have met are hard workers but also quite strange.
