You know you're a wrestler's sister when ...
...every childhood memory involves a sweaty high school gymnasium.
...you keep stats better than the coach.
...you can scout your brother's next opponent and he wins.
...hugging your sweaty brother after a match doesn't gross you out.

Julie braun cuts your hair with tape scissors
so you can wrestle!

or she tells u that you have to cut your hair for no reason lol

When you spend 11hrs on a team bus with no air conditioning to Carlsbad NM for Southern Plains Regionals in July, wake up from a nap on said bus to find a ringworm on your cheek and you go out to the parking lot and grind it off on a curb while your mother keeps watch so no other coaches see you doing it. Just so you can pass it off as a scrape to get through skin check and be allowed to wrestle. Wait, maybe this should be in the "Wrestler's Dedication" thread. Or better yet, start one called "Gross but True".

You know your a wrestler when your grades drop 2 grade points from November to February, and when your teachers ask to see your notes, all that's there is pictures of pizza, nachos and runzas.

You are at the show during wrestling season, and your girlfriend eyes you amorously, but you don't notice because you have fallen in love with a box of popcorn in the row ahead of you!

You stand on your head before weigh-ins so you can lose 2 pounds (or so you think)!

Spitting in a bottle seems natural on the way to a tournament where weigh-ins are on site!

Your high school's wrestling team is so good, you start a fashion trend of everyone wearing wrestling shoes to school.

You instinctively weigh yourself before and after going to the bathroom, before and after eating a meal, before and after taking a shower, and so on.

There is a guy from my home town that still wears wrestling shoes for everything, even when he goes to church.

-- You look at the prettiest wrestling cheerleader on the mats and have one question: does she have a single mom?

This is a good one NWI!
