My name is Alexandra Hofrichter and I am a freshman at the University of Dubuque. I am currently a communication/psychology double major, and I am on the women’s wrestling team. Wrestling has been a significant factor in improving my mental health throughout my life. As a college student, I have faced various challenges and stressors that have impacted my mental well-being. However, the discipline and focus required in the sport of wrestling has provided me with the tools to navigate these challenges effectively. Wrestling has taught me the importance of perseverance, resilience, and mental toughness, which have been invaluable in managing stress and anxiety. The mental strength and awareness I gain from participating in Wrestling helps me not only as an athlete and college student but will carry on for the rest of my life and be invaluable in tough times to come.
