Nine months out of the year I am with my coaches for wrestling. Spending so much time with them has led me to get to know them very well over the years.

Once they begin to talk and coach, the similarities in their attitudes at tournaments and their coaching styles become evident. The greatest difference between all seven of the wrestling coaches would be their appearance. Some coaches look more alike than others, but Falcon and Esvelt are opposites. At first glance, Falcon looks cold and angry. His demeanor scares freshman and even me sometimes.

During conditioning, both will yell at wrestlers to run faster, push harder, or dig deeper. The pair works together to motivate their team; sometimes that’s shouting or stopping and slowing down moves. When a wrestler does need to have the move demonstrated, both coaches are patient and willing to help, as long as you don’t waste their time.

The times when the two slow down and explain or walk through moves are the best for showing their true

    Have you noticed that Physical Education seems to be a narrowing field? I strongly believe that there is a reason we need to keep PE in schools and in society today.

They aren’t doing enough to help the students become physically active, instead, the teachers just sit there because it is a job to them, nothing more. If the teachers had a better personal philosophy on what they actually want to teach, then I feel like PE would be a much stronger field and everyone would want it around.…

They have taught me life lessons that I can only hope to preserve by instilling them into my athletes in my time as a coach. The articles I have chosen to highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and off the field of play, and illustrate how they stepped into the lives of athletes and became so much more than just a coach.…

    The discourse community for wrestling is different from most that I have heard. It could be similar to most high school sports because every high school has their own way of saying things. This Community differs from other communities because if you have never heard a person who wrestles talk about it or have never wrestled yourself, it can get very confusing. Wrestling is different because most terms are not heard in every day language. The moves are different for every team, although every move has a universal name that everyone knows it by.…
