College Wrestling

Question
Hi. I am 18 years old and about to go college. Is too late to start learning wrestling and joining the wrestling sports club at my university? I have no prior experience wrestling, but am very interested in the sport. Would it be advisable to train for a year (i.e learn basic techniques, find an appropriate weight class, etc.) then joining sophomore year?

Answer
Yea I would recommend training for a year outside then joining. They are very competitive in Universities. I would suggest talking to the coach about some wrestling clubs around your area so you can learn the basics and work out. It's not to late to join though, I am sure there are wrestling clubs out their suited for your age and is willing to work with you. I would also do a websearch for clubs around your area. Yellow book might have some too. Before you find a wrestling club, i'd suggest working out so that you won't be wheezing and dying after your first wrestling practice. Good luck with everything.
