The Start of My Love for Wrestling

Almost all student athletes get butterflies before that Friday night football game, before the fans get to watch them compete, or even the to get the ability to practice. Many argue that high school sports are a distraction in the classroom or even cause career ending injuries. There are many different scenarios that prove that high school sports do the exact opposite of those. When it comes to high school sports, it keeps students fit, boosts a student’s academic performance, and enhances a student’s self-esteem. High school sports are very beneficial and for anyone who is looking to take on a new challenge to take on.

Wrestling is one of the oldest sports known to man. It was also the first sport to be brought into the olympics in Ancient Greece. To cut out the oldest sport known to man out of the olympics is unthinkable. Most importantly, wrestling teaches self respect, self control, self confidence, self defense, self esteem, and most of all, how to work as a

When I stepped onto the blue mat in this new gym, I knew this was where I wanted to be. After years of dreaming of going to this gym, reality finally kicked in and I was ready to start my journey. I had cheered for five years in McKinney, Texas and I started out loving it. That gym made me realize cheer was my sport. The reason I loved it so much was because of my coach, Raul. He was like a brother to me and pushed me to do my best and try new things even when I was worn out and felt like giving up.

Wrestling is a sport about hard work and dedication. Some people say that wrestling is the hardest sport in high school because the sport is mostly a mind game. If you let someone get in your head or the workouts get in your head, then you have already lost the fight. Just like in any situation in your life, if you let the situation get the better of you, you lost.

My opponent is my teacher and my ego is my enemy. During the beginning of 9th grade I had always wanted to get a membership at a gym and so happen that my cousin started working at this new gym called UFC, she invited me to check it out. Monday in the afternoon, I went to the gym and from the moment I first stepped foot in that gym I loved the vibe there. Everybody pleasantly welcomed me. I first started taking DUT (Daily Ultimate Training) classes which worked more on strength and conditioning. Then several different classes, however the one class that caught my attention the most was the Brazilian jiu-jitsu class. Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that teaches a smaller person how to defend himself against a larger adversary by using leverage and proper technique

First off, going out for more than one sport in high school will help get athletes in better shape and stronger for other sports. For example, going out for track will help with multiple sports, the big one being football and another is basketball. Going out for basketball helps with track because players are constantly running. Basketball also helps athletes that play football because it helps them stay in shape from football all winter and into track season. My freshman year I went out for track

I LOVE TO WRESTLING. I like pushing far beyond what my body can handle. It’s just a part of me now. Overcoming that was a process, but the after effect was worth every dried bone of it. It has helped me to target conquer my weakness, and also made what i now love so dearly.

Sports in conjunction with academics are capable of creating a balance that makes for a well rounded citizen and healthy, happy employee. Issues in the mix often come from the balance itself. Many students find themselves overcommitted to sport while others find they are not able to compete. I will examine issues in interscholastic and collegiate sport.

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

Rian Bosse wrote an article about the positives of playing multiple sports. The thesis statement was hard to find, if it was even included. His main argument was that “in multiple sports you use the same things” (Bosse). He explains that using the same muscles could keep you healthy and keep you stronger, and he says that many students now are not playing multiple sports but should since they only have so little time. Bosse tries to say that more students should become student athletes who play multiple sports because some of them might not get another chance.

Some good things about wrestling are by participating in a team sport doing that you can make a lot of friends by doing this sport. It can also help you in reality are in your business life or work.

My very favorite sport to play is rodeo. Rodeo is such a great sport I love it for the adrenalin rush the people and all the life skill that com with it you would be amazed by the stuff you could

My last characteristic is the feeling of pure triumph. Wrestling is one of the most amazing sports because you two are the same age, same age, and the only differences are how much time you have practiced, how much stronger you are, and which wrestler has the most heart. Who ever displays those last 3 attributes the best will win. Ever since I started wrestling in 6th grade it was my goal to be a Greco State Champ. When I started I was very bad but after I got my first win in my 3rd ever wrestling match, the drive to try and win every match got ingrained into my mind. This being ingrained into my mind is the main thing that pushed me into trying to become a state champ. I wanted to earn the title as being the best at something that is extremely hard to obtain. When I won that last match I felt how all of the hard work payed off, and I mean every second of it. The time and dedication was all worth it to me. The greatest feeling was how I went 30-0 that season, undefeated. The entire 7-8 weeks of the season I battled through a serious knee injury and very badly bruised ribs. I believe that these injuries made me push myself harder. I think that these injuries made me want to prove to everyone that even if I was injured badly that I still had the heart to give it everything I had the whole entire year,

"Once you’ve wrestled everything else in life is easy" - Dan Gable. Ever since I was in middle school I have would always walk by this unusually foggy room where there would be many guys grappling with their opponents as they ran out of breath and still would still have the energy for the finishing takedown. The amount of heat coming from that room was not because it was 98 degrees outside, it was build out of sweat and hard drilling. During my Junior year, I decided to be a part of the wrestling team for the weight class of 99. On the first day of tryouts I was the only girl there, my legs shivered as I entered the room. Deep down I knew I had to work hard in order to be respected and taken seriously in the team.

Ever since I was five years old, professional wrestling has always been an escape for me. Growing up, I didn’t have the best childhood in the world, but every Monday and Friday I would turn on Raw and Smackdown. As I became a teenager I discovered there were other wrestling promotions such as; Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Professional wrestling still to this day is something that I cherish.
