Beginning of junior year, as I was walking towards the 8100 building, I was contemplating the fact that I was going to start walking all the way across campus and go up a lot of stairs. It was a hot morning and I was late to class when in the morning announcements they announced off-season practice for wrestling.

I defeated Jeff Petro in a tough 6 minutes of wrestling. It was Probably the toughest match I've ever had to wrestle. There I was with 2 wins and on my way to the semi-finals.

Wrestling has and always will be a big part of my life, that’s not to say I have had a pleasant nor a fair time on the wrestling mat, but I guess life’s not fair. I have always enjoyed wrestling from the first time I stepped foot on a mat in kindergarten in my singlet that was 2 sizes too big, from the last time leaving the mat as a junior in high school limping off the mat in some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.

Goodbye Germany Driving to the airport in the middle of the night, not realizing I’m leaving home and saying bye to the women I love the most. Inside the airport I had a reality check and knew that I was on my own now. While walking through security I noticed my flight was already boarding so I had to cut in front of hundreds of people. After I passed the security, it hit me I would not see my mom for a long time. Barely making it on my eight hour flight, it got harder and harder thinking about

The public is somewhat aware of the fact that the accounts in these shows are embellished, but they in fact count on this extra acting out. We, as a people, love drama.

The Road to State wrestling It was my freshman year in high school. We had a pretty good wrestling team and we made it to the regional duals and the four best teams in our district were there and the team who has made it to state wrestling the past three years and we had to beat all three teams in order to make it to state which was going to be difficult. it was the day after sectionals and we found out we would be one of the teams that qualified for Regional duals. We started focusing on that the

Fedor Emelianenko Accepts That He Is Not The Greatest Heavyweight Ever Within the last couple of weeks, the world of the MMA Fighting has actually witnessed some form of feather ruffling.
