Wrestling singlet

It is February 2012 I am at the Wyoming Wrestling State Finals. The stadium smells like nacho cheese combined with the sweat of hundreds of athletes. I feel exhausted. As I am warming up for my semi-final match, I think of all the countless hours spent training to lead me to this point. The stakes are high, my dream of being a state champion hanging in the balance. I am called to report to the mat for the start of my match. Right before the whistle blows, a jolt of adrenaline shoots through me as

Have you ever felt the rush of a fight? The butterfly feeling you get in your stomach just before the first punch is thrown. The blood inside your veins boil as your temper and your adrenaline rises to its peak. The feel of victory that you get from watching your opponent fall down to the floor caused by an amazing finisher of a spinning roundhouse kick. That’s the feeling that you will always have in the most amazing and the most physical sport in the world, The Ultimate Fighting Champion. The Ultimate

The CMLL World Tag Team Championship (CMLL Campeonato Mundial de Parejas in Spanish) is a professional wrestling championship promoted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; Spanish for "World Wrestling Council") in Mexico and is for two-man tag teams only. The championship was created in 1993 to replace the Mexican National Tag Team Championship and is still promoted by CMLL to this day. It is the top championship promoted by CMLL, with the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship and the Occidente

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

squares off against Chael Sonnen in a light heavyweight main event. They both grew up as wrestling fans and have nicknames that firmly pronounce their colorful personalities. The bravado of Ortiz’s fiery clad “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” is the perfect foil to the boisterous Midwesterner in Sonnen aka “The American Gangster.” If that’s not enough, the nucleus of their combative arsenal is a grinding wrestling style to punish their opponents against the cage. There’s even a built in storyline where

Admittedly I’m not the best wrestler, but my hard work ethic and determination is what makes me exceptional. At the 2015 regionals I lost my first match of the tournament which really brought my spirits down quite a lot. Going into my second match I knew if I lost my season would be done, and sectionals would be out of question for me. I ran out onto the mat, my heart is pounding through my chest. 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. They were such an encouragement and I was able to talk to them about anything. I was no longer sad, school became something I looked forward to each day. My coaches taught me how important it was to make goals
