Coach John Werner, the man who changed my life. It was 7th grade year right before wrestling season. My grandpa told me stories about his years in high school when he wrestled, it sound fun to me. So I grabbed a signup sheet and filled it out. About a week later the first practice started. It was me a few of my friends and some older students. We sat on the mat in silence. The we heard a creak and we all looked to our right. There stood Coach John Werner. “Who’s ready to wrestle!” everyone screamed yes while I sat in silence. We got up and went to the left side of the mat and got in our stances. I didn 't really know how to get in a stance so I just squatted down and and stood still. He walked by me and said “now you just look uncomfortable”
