Wrestling

This year wrestling season went by in a flash. I can remember being there the first day of practice with so many strange faces. I have met many amazing people throughout my years of wrestling and most of them happen to be from my own team. My wrestling season for my junior year did not have the outcome I was hoping. I know this falls under my wing; I know I should have pushed myself a little harder everyday of practice. The one thing wrestling has taught me is how to discipline myself and my body in ways I really thought I would not be able to. Like my coach says, "Wrestling is a sport of conditioning and positioning," the better conditioning one has, the better positioning they will be in on the mat. I have one season of wrestling left in my high school career, and I plan to leave everything on the mat. I know I have to work out in the off season to better myself for my last season in wrestling. I plan to do so with those who want to achieve more of themselves. Wrestling has helped me through a lot of obstacles in my life. Like Dan Gable said, " Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy." Only a true wrestler understands that.
