Over the other two wrestlers, he came up to me to ask if I had wanted to fill the spot because of how much dedication I had been showing. I immediately said that I would fill the spot. Though I knew I had only a slim chance of winning against varsity wrestlers, I still went to the tournament. With my luck, the first person I wrestled had been a state qualifier from the year before. It took 27 seconds for me to get steamrolled. In the second match, I wrestled a typical varsity athlete who only had a couple years experience on me. I made a personal goal to score at least one point during the match. After being taken down, I kept forcing my way back up. The other kid ended up returning me 3 times before managed I slipped away. I charged back in for a takedown and accidentally gave up an underhook which got me pinned. After that I felt disappointed due to my careless mistake, but glad because I had gotten that one

The day College of Faith football team played, Missouri S&T was in the fall of 2015, it was cold. At the time me and my brothers on the football team came off a big lost to the Cougars of St. Francis. The St.Francis Cougars Are located in Fort Wayne, Texas.

Unfortunately, we got demolish, the whole team quit.We lost 64-0 Football taught me to value my life more and be more ongoing to learn new things.

It all began in the Lone Star State where my wrestling team and I were confronted with one of our greatest challenges and duly mine, but I’ll get to that soon enough. We entered into one of the most prestigious tournaments that Texas has to offer. It was the first time my team,the Brother Martin Crusaders, had returned to the Lone Star Duals in nearly a decade, and damn were we due for a warm welcome. We competed well and practically breezed through the tournament, while watching our soon to be opponents struggle to make the finals.. Little did we know that was their scheme all along. This team that “struggled” throughout the tournament was not any average ole team.

At the beginning of my high school years, I used to be a competitive gymnast. It was my whole entire world ever since I had started competing at age eight. I trained thirty hours a week and saw the inside of a gym more than my own home, and my coaches more than I saw my parents. My teammates were my best friends, and my entire life was defined by the tittle of being a gymnast. I had trained diligently and I was getting to a point where all my hard work had hit a pinnacle. It was early April and I had a big competition on Sunday. Sunday morning came and I was competing in the gym I trained in and was surrounded by my best friends. I knew what I was doing, I was calm and confident and ready to claim another first place medal and enjoy the day. Its custom in gymnastics that before you compete you salute the judges so they know you are ready. I saluted, stepped forward and took off. The next thing anyone heard was a gut wrenching snap, and the room

I felt humiliated after my previous losses and used it as motivation that I would not lose to this person again. Within the first thirty seconds of the match, I managed to take him down and receive two points (in wrestling terms, to take someone down is to get behind the opponent and have them on all fours, their stomach, or sides). At that moment, I was feeling great; this was the first time I had been winning in a match against him. Shortly after managing to get the two points, my opponent was able to reverse me, which means he went from being on bottom to being on top. I thought to myself, “What do I do?” I began to lose confidence, and wrestled as if this were my first time on the mat. When I managed to get out of bounds, I looked at my coaches and they told me “Calm down, you’re doing alright. Just focus.” At that moment, I began to

On that day, I could feel the butterflies in my stomach aching for what was about to happen in the next six minutes. This was going to be the biggest wrestling match of my career, and as the referee blew his whistle I knew that this was the start of reality. Within the first two periods, my points were starting to rack up, which put me in the lead until my opponent started to come up with some of her own points. The referee yelled out, “15 seconds left!”, and I was up by one point. As soon as I thought it was over, the girl had got two points off of a takedown, and in that moment, I knew this was the end of a dream to become a 2017 State Champion.

It was not until this year that I started to watch wrestling. Wrestling seemed to be more of a male fan based sport than female fan based. Boy was I wrong! January of this year I had attended my first pro wrestling event and loved it. The scenery was way different than what I had expected it to be. It was an experience that I will never forget; therefore, I need to thank my fiancé for the opportunity!

The most tragic event that has changed my life was devastating to me and my teammates. It occurred my junior year during my football season. The first game of the season, my team, Apalachee High School, played Woodland-Henry in Henry County Georgia. The game began and I was playing outstanding. The game started with me scoring a touchdown defensively and it gave my team confidence. Throughout the game, we were up 7-0 until the second quarter came. Woodland went up 13-7 with 7 minutes left before halftime. There was about 6 minutes until halftime until this event took place. I was playing running back at the time and I was moving the ball down the field. At the 5 minute mark my team had possession of the ball. My coach drew me up a play and

In the upcoming summer of Junior year, I experienced a valuable lesson about life that occurred in a Basketball game. To begin with, the Independence Basketball team had offseason training for the whole summer. During that summer, my teammates and i worked extremely hard to become an unstoppable Junior Varsity team. As the team trained, we were entered to play at Arizona Christian University for almost the whole summer. In short, we have never played at ACU before and were excited to play. As we played teams at ACU, the Independence Jv only lost 2 games in total and entered the ACU tournament. In the tournament, we were playing in the Semifinals against Moon Valley. I remember that day, as a team, we all motivated each other and were focused to

The whistle blew and I had lost the match. I was completely overwhelmed in disappointment at the fact that I let my entire team down as I lost the match. After I got off the mat I sat down and started to tear up as I the thought of being an utter waste of a varsity space. As the dual concluded my coach took us all into the the locker room and started yelling at us. He said how terrible we were and how we embarrassed him and AHS in general. As he did this my spirit just went farther and farther down into my stomach. I felt like I was going to throw up. Then he stated something that changed how I was thinking. He said “It’s crazy that I have to rely on a one-hundred and eighty-two pound freshman (me) to go out on the mat and get out wrestled but still keeping trying and pushing to win”. After he said that I felt an enormous amount of stress and anxiety just kinda melted off my

As the wrestling seasons went I got to go to areas which is like jr. high states. My first match was against the first seat and I was fifth seat. I had him pinned but the kid threw a whirly bird and I lost the match 6-4. This was double elimination this means I was 0-1. I was angry at the crappy call and my coach said I will make it through and face him again in finals. Well it it didn't work out that way I lost my second match and I was sent home with an end of season record of 27-13. I was furious but when it was all over I had my coaches and the crowd telling me good

Regionals came up before I knew it and I won my first and second matches easily with pins, but I knew my third wouldn't be so easy. Sure enough, I checked the brackets and Roy had won his first two as well. This only meant one thing, Roy and I had a third date. I spent the next couple of hours as a nervous wreck awaiting the match. Then I heard the booming voice of the announcer call out our names and I headed for the mat. The match had little excitement except for a few close calls, and at the end of the third period it was tied 3-3. Overtime is a good place for a Hotchkiss wrestler to be because we are in so much better shape than everyone else. Sure I was in better shape than Roy, but I will have to admit he was a bit stronger, all right a lot stronger. He ended up grabbing my leg with no technique and jerking it to his body. He got me off my feet and took me down. Roy had beat me for the first time in three matches. I had out wrestled him until last 5 seconds when I let my guard down. I was crushed by the defeat and I vowed to myself that if I wrestled him again at state that it wouldn't happen twice. I won my match for third and fourth against a different rival that had beaten me earlier

The year 2016 saw the resurgence of women’s wrestling in the WWE. The WWE Divas Championship was cast aside in favor of the prestigious WWE Women’s Championship, and although this championship doesn’t share the same (mostly) outstanding lineage as the one that preceded it, it marked a massive change in the way that women were presented in the ring by the WWE.

I started wrestling again and work so hard to be better often picking much bigger members on my team to practice with. So that I could get better. I felt so good and ready for that first match I was pumped and knew I would do better. I lost. No only did I lose I got punked it was a blowout I only scored when he let me up, only to take me down again. After the match was finally done. I talked to the coach he told me how hard I had fought I had refused to give up. It didn't help I was still dejected and when to sit on the bench. My friend cody came over and said "good fight" "I lost" He looked me right in the eye and said "So? Did you expect to never fail again?" I said no and he said " Good because that would be crazy! Now get up and get ready." I never became an amazing wrestler but, I learned that no matter how are i try I will always come up against opposition but I can't let that stop me from
