This year during wrestling I was captain of the team, and this was a big responsibility since being captain is a big deal. Being captain isn’t about giving commands to people as you please or hazing people who aren’t as good as you. It’s a whole lot more than that. To be a captain or leader, you must show good examples, give advice when teammates are struggling, inspire teammates, and the list goes on. Many different qualities are required to be a successful leader like having good focus, being strong

Did you know the UFC was not always the way it is now. It used to be a battle where it pitted one martial art versus another, wether it be Jiu-Jitsu v.s Boxing or Muay Thai v.s Judo and many other combinations. There were no rules, some thing were frowned upon like punches to the groin, hair pulling or even, fish hooking. There were also no weight classes, unlike the modern UFC they pitted fighters like, Teila Tuli( 6 ft 1 in. 460 lbs) vs Gerard Gordeau( 6 ft 5 in. 216 lbs) this was because they

I didn’t want to let my parents and coaches down again. The match started and instinctively I grabbed

Competing on my wrestling club’s team at the annual National Dual Team Wrestling Tournament in 2015 was a very successful tournament for myself and also for North Carolina Wrestling history. The team and I put in very hard work over the summer, training and persevering towards our goal of placing top 10 at Dual Team Nationals. The results that were achieved this tournament we’re tremendous, we placed the highest any North Carolina club wrestling team has ever placed at Dual Team Nationals. It was

consumed with the thought of my dad anymore. This was a great way to occupy my time. I then began to open up and started meeting a lot of new friends. A few of the wrestlers on the team later became my best friends. I did not only gain friends from wrestling, but my coaches became my roles models.

A big part of wrestling is cutting weight. Wrestlers cut weight all the time, but what are the effects of them cutting weight. Most of us know why wrestlers cut weight. They cut weight to wrestle a lighter weight class with smaller guys. Some wrestlers don’t know what kind of long-term effects that cutting weight is causing them.
