Personal Narrative: The Sport Of Wrestling

I find myself here a few years later, looking back on those times when I thought that I would never grow old, but here I am asking myself, “Why did I give up a sport that I enjoyed so much?” ,or “Why did I join wrestling again after a year of failure?”. After reading Grazer’s work, I think I have an answer. It wasn’t entirely because I didn’t want to upset my father that I quit basketball and joined wrestling, it was because I knew all I needed to know about basketball

I started wrestling in sixth grade. Even though I didn’t win one of my first seven matches, I developed into a successful wrestler. In high school I won tournaments and beat high-quality wrestlers. During my junior year I was determined to become a great wrestler. I worked harder than ever and didn’t let anyone stop me. That year I lost the Illinois state wrestling tournament championship match by one point. Over the next six months between my junior and senior season I was runner up at AAU national tournament and wrestled at Disney Land in Florida at the Disney Duals with over 50 other teams and only lost 1 of 8 matches. These are a few of my achievements in high school. Now that I am in college there are many

The reason why I like wrestling as much as I do is because there aren’t really favorites in wrestling, like there are in other sports. In wrestling if a coach has a favorite and that wrestler is J.V. there is nothing that coaches can do to make that wrestler a Varsity wrestler. Unlike, say Baseball if a player's dad is a coach, that player will most likely be a starter or play quite often, even if he isn’t that good. In wrestling you have to work for what you want, if you don't think you won't be where you wanna be. This lesson will help me later in life by showing me to work for what I would like, because if I won't push for that then I might regret it for the rest of my life.

Wrestlers know what hard work in practice is. Because of wrestling, I have now been able to outperform many of my friends who were in better shape than me before. I think i have accomplished my sports career and have reached past my point of boundaries. Anyone can become a wrestling, that’s if you have the willingness to always complete and never fall and quit. It's like this; You can never complete a move if you don't finish.

One of my biggest mistakes was quitting wrestling to play only football. That previous year, I won The Little Devil’s Wrestling Championship. I also was playing my 4th year of football for The Little Knights. I quit because as a 3rd grader, I wasn’t committed to daily practices for both sports. I 100 percent enjoyed football more. Therefore, at the time, I chose football over wrestling.

Because my sophomore year of wrestling was over too i decided to do a lot of offseason wrestling. I really was able to fall in love with the sport and continue to get better and better. At the beginning of my junior year i was super

The enormous support of all wrestling fans is being heard and the sound level is so loud that it feels as though the building is shaking.Your name is being announced on college wrestling biggest stage.

He was furious on this decision he doesn't even agree onthis.It teaches more than any other sport, dedication, encourage, sportsmanship, and so one there are so many more left to mark down.

Wrestling has impact my life in so many ways. From the coaches, teammates, family and friends supporting me all the way. I have learned many life values from wrestling. Wrestling is a very challenging sport it is extremely physical as well as mentally challenging. I feel wrestling has prepared me for the rest of my life because all that comes with wrestling can be applied to life.

This essay will be about how wrestling is the best sport. First off wrestling gets you in shape. Practices are so intense you can’t help but get in shape. You will be in the best shape of your life. Secondly every match and every tournament you meet really cool people every time. I met a big fella and he could play guitar, solved a rubiks cube in a minute flat, was a cheer leader, and was a good wrestler. This guy is my freaking role model. Oh, and he wore a cool hat. The third reason is its fun. When you go out on the mat getting ready to wrestle your adrenaline starts pumping and you go all out. The fourth reason is if you don’t like pants you’re golden because you’re

An enormous amount of the average adult population, today want to get students in better shape, such as making them stronger, faster and to have a better cardiovascular system. If those students want to achieve those goals than wrestling should be the sport the physical education curriculum should introduce it to their system. Students who have ever wrestled usually have better strength, speed, and cardiovascular system. It teaches about sportsmanship and helps someone learn how to deal with being by themselves. However, one of the most important part of wrestling is it's a very fun sport.

Ever since I was little and saw WWE RAW, a wrestling TV show, for the first time, I enjoyed watching wrestling on TV. I would always jump up throwing my arms in the air when my favorite wrestler was winning. I would invite some of my friends over on Saturdays to mimic the wrestling moves that the wrestlers were doing from the TV on a trampoline in my backyard during the afternoon because it looked awesome and it was very fun. The wrestling TV show inspired me to join wrestling in High School.

The sport of wrestling is one of the world's oldest sports and one of the oldest sports in the United States. Wrestling was the third sport added to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (INTEXTCITATION.) In recent years, wrestling has been fighting to keep the sport alive in the Olympics. Even though wrestling seems like a simple sport, the wrestling mats, weigh-in scales, and score tables cost a lot of money and the small amount of viewers that wrestling has compared to other sports like swimming or track, makes wrestling an easy choice to cut back on. Despite wrestling being one of the first sports in the world, other sports like skateboarding, surfing, and sport climbing will be allotted to the 2020 games at the cost of 56 wrestlers

My most favorite sport is wrestling. It is one of the hardest and greatest sports out there. It strengthens athletes while also building their character. When I first started wrestling in high school, I wasn’t the strongest, fastest, or toughest wrestler on the team. With the help and guidance of my coaches and teammates, I was able to become one of the top wrestlers at my high school. Through my high school career, I have had some impressive comeback wins, was voted as team captain my junior and senior year, hold school records, and qualified for the state tournament my senior year. After graduating high school I still wanted to continue my wrestling career. I am currently wrestling for the Wayne State Wrestling Club and plan to wrestle for

With the removal of wrestling from the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is also taking away many dreams for young wrestlers all over the world. Wrestling is a very mentally and physically challenging sport. “More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill, none have wrestled without pride”(Dan Gable).To become successful at it, one must practice regularly and put in a large amount of work. In the United States alone there are over 260,000 wrestlers who have put in this work and dedication. Yet, this is only a small portion of the wrestlers in the world. With this being a small example of the world, it is hard to not think of the multitudes of young Olympic hopefuls whose dreams are being crushed with the removal of wrestling from the Olympics.
