Wrestling and Mental Health
Wrestling is a physically demanding sport that requires a tremendous amount of mental toughness. The physical toll of wrestling can be overwhelming, but the mental strain can be just as debilitating. Many wrestlers struggle with anxiety and depression, and it’s not uncommon for them to experience a range of emotions, from frustration and anger to sadness and hopelessness.
The Impact of Wrestling on Mental Health
As for his training schedule, Borden shared, “As often as I can. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Asheville training with Dax and Cash and Adam and that will probably end up being a more long-term thing at some point pretty soon. It’s just a timing thing. But right now, I’m just literally flying back-and-forth. I’ve got a family here in California; a 15-month-old daughter and my wife.”
