The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Build more combat training facilities as there is a rise of popularity in combat sports such as wrestling but theres a lack of training facilities in the city. It would benefit athletes who have a passion for the sport as well as those who don’t.
Who it helps and why
Creates a community where people can train with each other and create a bond with one another, allowing for a stronger and healthier community based on growth, challenging themselves to complete hard tasks. Would help younger athletes develop soft skills such as leadership and confidence necessary for jobs and passions they want to pursue.
