Freestyle wrestling

I started wrestling for the Smithville Youth Wrestling Club. At the time I was in the fifth grade and I was 12 years old. At first I hated the idea of wrestling because of the tight singlet you had to wear, and also the idea of people making fun of you because of “rolling around with other guys”. Plus to make thing worse a lot of the other kids there have already wrestled since they were 5 which gave them more experience. I remember coming home from practice and just hating wrestling because it…

Wrestling is a hard sport with many challenges along your season. It is the longest sport season in middle, and take a lot of perseverance to get the job done. I have wrestled nine years and last year in Canton was one of my best EMS performances. The early morning , tiring bus ride, and sleepy teammates started out with a 6:00 bus time.(Magic 3) We got to Canton High School and I weighted in and was below 112 and then we could eat. We were so hungry we have eaten a cow.(Fig. Language) I was…

Junior High School wrestling team. I chose this project because I believed as a senior and with five years of experience why not benefit the younger generation of forks wrestlers. I believe wrestling can help people in all aspects of life like my coach wheeler always says " once you've wrestled, everything else is easy". I would have to agree with this quote with my experience before and after I wrestled. I started this project February 22, 2016 and ended on March, 16th 2016. Wrestling ties into…

else matters inside this room besides one thing and that is improving your skills as a wrestler. Unlike a basketball court or a football field, which are used for many different activities, the wrestling room is for work only. Isolated from the rest of the school with a set of heavy metal doors, the wrestling room contains two full sized mats that cover the floor and go halfway up the walls along with a speaker mounted up in each corner. The parts of the walls not covered in mat, are decorated…

When I was a lot younger playing sports wasn’t always easy because of asthma. In the eighth grade, instead of playing basketball after football season, I decided to wrestle instead. One time in the seventh grade I went to the 2013 OKWA Novice State wrestling tournament. After several matches in the tournament I made it to the semi-finals. I won that match in double overtime. It might not seem like much, but I learned a valuable lesson. During that double overtime, I was so exhausted that I…

and excruciating process, but well worth the pain to reach the pinnacle of his journey: to be a state champion. Before the wrestling season, a wrestler needs to be mentally and physically prepared. This journey is anything but easy, and sometimes to have the most success, wrestlers must cut weight. Cutting weight puts the wrestler at a lower weight, helping him control wrestling matches easier. The wrestler has to create physical goals through exercise, dieting, weight checks, all while…

with my coaches for wrestling. Spending so much time with them has led me to get to know them very well over the years. My two coaches for wrestling, Esvelt and Falcon, when looked at initially, appear immensely different. Their facial expressions to their body types differ significantly. 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…

I’ve been only wrestling for one year, but yet it feels like it has been a lifetime of memories. Wrestling as a sport, teaches you character, strengthens your mind and your core. Practices are hard and long; they suck in all honestly, but I’m an athlete, I live for hard work and a challenge. Even though it hasn’t been long, I have just fell in love with wrestling, it’s like that one family member nobody really likes, but everyone learns to love them anyway because they are family and they will…

Wrestling is a one of a kind sport that teaches you more about life then any other sport in the world. It humbles you and proves to you that what you put in is what you get out. Anthor big lesson is to never stop fighting no matter what and in life this could be anything from a passing of a family member the rent being late or just being heartbroken the lesson that wrestling teachers you is that times are tough are now but soon they will get better. Or if you get pinned or beat you know that…

Wrestling is a sport most people do so they can do better in other sports. They want to do good in wrestling to show their coaches that they are very strong athletes physically and mentally. Most people tend to not know the real ways of becoming good. Wrestlers have so many ways to becoming great, and they have to go on the bumpier road to get better, not the smooth one. Skip Practices One of the steps to becoming a wrestler is that practice does not make people better and, definitely, won’t…
