Abstract: Wrestling, a traditional and culturally significant sport in India, demands a high level of both physical and psychological resilience from athletes. This paper delves into the dual pressures faced by Indian wrestlers and assesses their impact on performance. The study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative research methods, focusing on factors such as training intensity, injury frequency, and mental resilience among state and national-level wrestlers. Results indicate that while physical conditioning improves performance, it also increases the risk of injuries and mental stress. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive support, including mental health services and injury prevention initiatives, to enhance athletes' overall well-being. Future research should investigate the long-term health implications and effectiveness of psychological resilience programs tailored to Indian wrestlers.

Keywords: Indian wrestling, physical challenges, psychological pressure, mental resilience, injury risk, sports performance, weight management, mental health.
