Mark Bowden's Bringing the Heat has some good reflections on the psychology of defensive vs offensive American football, kept me entertained even though I don't really care about football. My dad played center in HS and college, and the book definitely tracks.
I've been attracted to strength sport and endurance sport at various points in my life, solitary number-go-up type stuff. Wouldn't say I'm exceptionally well-suited to either, but also not exceptionally poorly-suited, though definitely not one of Nature's grimpeurs.
Surely that's not one style but rather a combination of wrestling, BJJ, muay thai, Western boxing, etc., with exact proportions depending on individual background and probably also baseline aptitude and preference.
