Personal Narrative: The Little Devil's Wrestling Championship

Then, high school came along and I received a rude awakening that I was no longer top dog on the wrestling team. I lost more matches that first year of highschool wrestling then I had my whole junior high career combined. I was devastated that year I thought that I would never want to wrestle again. However, when wrestling rolled around that next year I was the first in line to show up.

When your an athlete you are expected to always be at your best mentally and physically. However not always is this the case as lots of people tend to not be the best in those two categories on competition day, sometimes it depends on the sport and in my case that is wrestling, and wrestling is in my and several others opinions the most mentally and physically taxing sport in the world, and in my first experience at a tournament it was simultaneously the worst and best experience in my sporting career so far that is.

Wrestling is a sport which was developed from ancient Olympic Games. In today’s world sports such as baseball, soccer, or football are common and have many fans; however, wrestling has history. In understanding ancient history, the Greco-Roman society and how they held Olympic Games is important in realizing wrestling is an extremely competitive sport. As time passed, wrestling begins to become modern and incorporated into the Athens Olympic Games in 1896, which included the Greco-Roman wrestling style (Wikipedia, 2017). The first time free style wrestling is found in the history of wrestling is documented in 1904 at the St. Louis Olympic Games (Wikipedia, 2016). Wrestling has been a controversial sport and was removed from the 2020 Olympic

Ever wonder how I did at my league tournament for wrestling? If you don't then you should. First, I walked on the mat for my first match. The first match was probably the hardest match of the day. I had to wrestle a kid named karson Brandt, he was from holton. I beat him 9-1 in a three period battle.

My first varsity college wrestling match was short but a success. Prior to the match we had to drive five hours to Olivet Michigan to wrestle in the tournament we were competing in. We left after class on Friday around 3:30, so we can get to the hotel and have time to relax. I was super enthusiastic all the way there. It was my first match on varsity in college! I knew I had to get the win to start off my college career.

Ever since I was eight years old I have been wrestling all year, every year, almost daily. I never thought that my wrestling career would extend past junior high or even into high school. I started doing pretty good at tournaments and practices so I thought I might actually make it in high school and become a successful wrestler. Before I graduated from junior high, I had decided that the high school that I was going to be attending didn't have the best wrestling program so I moved to another school nearby which had a renowned wrestling program called Washington Community High School in Illinois. It was a tough decision, but I eventually told my parents that I wanted to move to Washington in order to keep wrestling. They agreed surprisingly and that's when the journey began.

Have you ever thought “There’s no way I can do this”, but managed to be able to succeed and reach your goal? I am going to tell you the story of the hardships I endured at my first wrestling camp. Last summer, in late July, I attended a wrestling camp called “Camp of Champions” in the high foothills of Sonora. The camp was labeled an intensive camp, and that’s exactly what it was. The camp consisted of four practices a day- each lasting about two and a half hours.

I decided to quit playing football in the seventh grade because of the injure that i had sustained.

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!

In my life experience , I believe that my favorite playing activity will be watching WWE stands for world wrestling entertainment . This is an activity that I can relate to and inspires me the most . The world of wrestling has been a life time style passion. Not every girl can relate to wrestling like I do . The world of wrestling is an amazing activity of play.

I believe that wrestling has made my dad and I bound stronger and this is a play activity that unites us as a family . I strongly, think that playing is a big impact in someone's life weather is building a sand castle or even

When I was younger I really enjoyed watching wrestling. In the late 1980's is when it went just watching it, to me getting very serious about it. My brother and I are 10 years apart so as he left home my love for wrestling grew more, because I was the only sibling besides my parents still in the house. Seeing wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Coco B. Ware, Harley Race, Super Fly Jimmy Snuka, and Andre the Giant perform made it a very exciting time in my young life. These were men that every young fan of this sport idealized, and I wanted to be like after I grew up. I had a vast collection of wrestling figurines, an actual miniature replica of the WWE (formally WWF) ring. So as I sat on the floor on a typical Saturday morning watching wrestling matches

What I choose to put for my home topic/picture was a picture of a wrestling mat. I put this because since I started wrestling I knew I would love it, also because this takes up some of each day of the week. Another reason is because that it's extremely physically and mentally demanding. When you step on that mat dozens of emotions are rapidly going through your body: Nausea, Excitement, Worry, Fear, Strength, Regret, Fear, Adrenaline. Some people think that wrestling is just an individual sport, but it builds camaraderie like no other. Whenever you need help with something or falling behind, someone is right there next to you to pick you up. In wrestling whenever you get a collar tie or do a move I usually get an immense scent that smells like

It was a sunny Sunday and my sister and I had to go to our first Pro Wrestling training. We wake up early, I was nervous but at the same time excited because I love that sport, so we took the breakfast and we went to the route. The trip was almost endless to me, I felt like the route became more and more eternal but at the same time I did not want to arrive because I didn’t know what I was going to find there. When we finally arrived, there were people training. The place is small but cozy, has a big and beautiful Ring in the front and around has a small CrossFit Gym. When we were invited to get into the Ring, it was one of the best feelings of my life and we trained like 1 hour and it was completely perfect. The young trainers congratulated

There is no possible way to define me without applying that I am a wrestler, ever since; stepping on a wrestling mat. My body is comprised of wrestling material, I have heart, spirit, strength, speed, skill and most importantly dedication. As team members we all play roles, we have to work hard, go to practice, give 100%, and, ultimately, stay in our designated weight class. I recall physically and mentally collapsing on my apartment stairs to stay 132lbs. By that time I was more attracted to gravity than my passion to persevere. Anyways, what I love most about wrestling is the fact that I get to express myself and my team. In addition, wrestlers wrestler wrestlers in the same weight class. Basically, you are able to demonstrate your skill,

Dating back to my early childhood; football at the time was my only love. I breathed, slept and ate football. It started off as just a friendly hobby around my neighborhood up until my tenth-birthday when I joined a little league football team. Over the years I continued to play, it got even more exciting for me when my friends from the neighborhood start joining the team as well. Things suddenly changed for me moving forward into my high school career. Although this was once a fun stress reliever it was becoming the only thing that stressed me out.
