As I take a deep breath, the realization that this is no tropical air comes crashing in. Instead of the refreshing scent of the ocean, or tropical plants, the taste of salt from sweat and a smell of the human body fill my lungs. The daydream is over. A shrill whistle sounds and the voice of coach Chuck booms through out the

I believe wrestling is one of the hardest sports around the world. There are only a few who stick around throughout the season because they are willing to endure the pain. I had difficulties deciding which sport to play, and I chose the one that called out to me the most. I had difficulties throughout the season at first, and then I loved wrestling even more after it ended. 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

gentials, and headbutts. Although wrestling is a great sport things do happen and rules are set as a precursor. Wrestling is aggressive but not a violent sport. Wrestling coaches do not teach wrestling techniques to athletes so that it may be used in an attempt to injure or disable opponents. Wrestling is a good sport because it allows for non-violent aggression. The point is not to hurt and/or harm your opponent but to use controlled force against their force. Wrestling is man to man competition that

Calaveras Enterprise Sports Editor Guy Dossi spoke with Calaveras High School head wrestling coach Vince Bicocca Monday Feb. 26 before practice. The two spoke of the recent Masters Tournament, the continued success of the program and the upcoming California State Tournament. GD: As we look around the wrestling room, there are only a few bodies in here. Compare that to a few weeks ago when it was packed. Now with only two Calaveras wrestlers moving on to compete at the State Tournament, is it weird

field, football field, track, gymnasium, in the weight room, and on the wrestling mat. Just like those poor aforementioned kids being yelled at by their coach, this statement just bounced off me, never finding a sticking place among all my doubt and insecurity. Nowhere was this more true that on the wrestling mat; Coach Jaimez has told my teammates and I this countless times, and not once throughout my first four years of wrestling did this ever sink in. I am ashamed of this, as those athletes in the

In 1962, Norman Cousins wrote an essay about the dangers that came with sport of boxing called “Who Killed Benny Paret?”. His essay focused on a match that resulted in the death of a boxer named Benny Paret. The Investigations on Paret's death reflected on many aspects, such as the role of the referee who did not act in time to stop the fight, the doctor's examinations if he was really fit, the opponent who did not stop when Paret did not respond to his punches, and Paret's manager and boxing authorities

guys. Yet that is exactly what I did this last July. No, it’s not what you’re thinking; I went to wrestling camp. Wrestling is a sport that I’ve always wanted to try, but my shyness and insecurity held me back. This year I decided that I will no longer allow other people’s opinions affect my own decisions. Joining wrestling is the first major step I’m taking to change my life. “You want to do…wrestling? As in…wrestle?” This is the initial reaction I got from Coach McGuffin when I told him I wanted

I think the best sport is wrestling even though It's probably the least fun sport in the world. I think it's the best sport because it's a great example of a team that is a brotherhood. I think it's the best sport because it is an individual sport and the person controls whether he wins or loses and there's nothing to blame your losses on but yourself.
