401 Words2 Pages

Semi-state decides if your seasons ends or you make it to state. State is a huge thing in wrestling. It not like all sports because it 's you by yourself. You worked all season to get to that ticket round match and win. The week leading up to semi-state is very quiet. What I mean by quiet is that in class and in practice it 's all very serious. There 's not a lot of messing around. It 's just you and your teammates focusing all week. You have to make practice very hard on yourself. You have to make sure you 're completely focused and going 100%. Outside of practice you have a lot of people distraction you. There will be the people saying stuff like “You made it to semi-state that’s so good.” There will also be the people that say stuff like “Win or lose you made it to semi-state that 's really good.” It 's good that people are supporting you but you can’t listen to that …show more content…

Thats makes you feel like you went far enough to please other people. You can’t be complacent in the sport of wrestling because that 's where things go wrong. What i’m saying is that the week leading up to semi-state has to be very focused. Freshman of any sport is very hard because it 's your first year of “high school athletics.” You have to learn how to go hard in practice. My freshman year of wrestling was alright and what I mean by that is that it wasn 't the best. My coach and I had expectations of me making it to semi-state. I really didn 't know

Cleaner Leader In Relentless, By Tim S. Grover

Due to the fact that he was my practice Mackleer, Jakob partner, he knew my move sets and all of my set ups for them. This preposed the biggest challenge of wrestling your own teammate, but I had to think outside of the box and use moves that I had not perfected. This took him by surprise and ended up winning me the match and giving me the top spot at 145 lb. Then next weekend we had a team match, which was a team that we already lost to, we ended up winning by one match, my match that he lost before.

Example Of A Multi-Media Rhetorical Narrative

307 Words | 2 Pages

The situation that I will be talking about in this multi-media rhetorical narrative is what I learned from my last track meet. Going into the end of the season of my senior year, I was ranked in the top 10 for discus throwers in the state. When the state meet came I was expected to come in fourth place or better. That meet turned out to be one of my worst meets of the year and I performed much worse than expected. As a result, I did not qualify for the regional meet and my season was over.

Satire Essay About Wrestling

833 Words | 4 Pages

I do not honestly know where our team would be if it weren’t for our quick­witted head coach. As you can see, our wrestling team is only as successful as it is because of our quick­witted head coach, our bodybuilder assistant coach, and our knowledgeable assistant coach. Our quick­witted head coach is most fit for our head coaching job because he is the only one who can think quickly enough to realize that in each and every match we should always choose top and never choose either neutral, bottom, or defer. Our bodybuilder assistant coach is invaluable to the team because he’s the only one who is in good enough shape to watch us work out and make sure we’re doing it as he would do if he were working out in high school.

My First Wrestling Match Essay

My First Wrestling Match There were about two weeks before my first wrestling match. After a tough practice, I went to check my weight like everyone else does, and my heart sunk as I realize that I am six pounds over my weight class. The weight class I am wrestling in is one hundred and thirteen pounds, but I weigh one hundred and nineteen. I was very nervous that my coach would find out and be displeased with me. I began to worry because being six pounds over meant that I could only eat a little bit each day, and work extra to lose all of the weight.

High School Sports Important To Me Essay

506 Words | 3 Pages

Similar to adversity, success is much easier to manage with the support of a team. Individual success can lead a person to be conceited, but teammates serve as a barrier to help you walk the line between confidence and arrogance. Learning how to be confident in yourself without crossing the line into arrogance is a tremendously large part of learning to deal with success. Athletics have also taught me that satisfaction can lead to complacency and complacency leads to failure. I have learned how to celebrate a success while recognizing and remaining critical of my own mistakes.
