Who Are the Underdogs in Wrestling?
Underdogs are the wrestlers nobody sees coming—until it’s too late.
You’ve been underestimated, overlooked, or counted out before the match even starts. But you know something they don’t: you’re not done yet.
An Underdog’s mindset is built on:
-
Resilience – Getting up every time you’re knocked down
-
Determination – Refusing to quit, no matter the score
-
Heart – Wrestling for something bigger than yourself
If you thrive on proving people wrong, you’re an Underdog



The Underdog Stereotype (and Why It’s True)
People think Underdogs are:
-
New to the sport
-
Lacking experience or skill
-
“Lucky” when they win
But here’s the truth:
Underdogs succeed because they outwork everyone else. You study, you grind, and you wrestle with the kind of hunger champions can’t fake.
How to Train as a Underdog
Underdogs win by turning disadvantages into strengths:
-
Conditioning: Push your gas tank further than anyone else’s
-
Scrambles: Turn every position into a scoring chance
-
Mental Toughness: Stay focused when matches get rough
-
Clutch Practice: Simulate high-pressure situations in the room
