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. The next day I barely had anything to eat. I didn’t eat anything for breakfast, and for lunch I only had a sandwich and an orange. Practice after school was very difficult because I had very …show more content…
At the end of practice, I check my weight again and I am still over by about three pounds. When I get home, I go up to my room and start putting multiple layers of clothes on. I put on three shirts, two pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, a sweatshirt and two pairs of socks. After I put on all of my layers, I go down to the basement and run on the treadmill so that I can sweat and lose weight. Once I have run on the treadmill, I go upstairs to check how much I weigh. When I checked the scale, I was one hundred and fifteen pounds, which is still two pounds over what I need to be in the …show more content…
During the entire match I had no idea what was happening. I didn’t know which side of the scoreboard was mine, so I didn’t know if I was winning or losing. Since we were in a tournament, there were numerous whistles that were going off during my match. During the match, it was very loud, which made it hard to hear my coach. I also didn’t have any idea what period we were in. When the final whistle was blown, I didn’t even know that the match was over and that I won. I figured out that I won when the referee raised my hand. I was so tired at the end of my match, but I was so happy that I
I was having mixed emotions; I was anxious because it would be the last time cheering with people I love, and I was afraid of messing up. I looked at my friend Landry and said, “We got this!” She looked at me and smiled. The music started and I began the routine which I had done millions of times before. After we finished our routine, the parents, the athletes, and my coaches met up so we could discuss how we thought we did.
For an incentive, her Aunt Jackie is getting married and wants Ann to be her bridesmaid. Ann said,¨If I am going to be a look good for Aunt Jackie 's wedding, I´ll need to lose forty-five pounds(pg47).¨ She starts by exercising with the videos that S2S supplied for her along with the food she received as well. She also starts by doing daily runs that a block each time. She looks at the scale every week and sees how she is losing weight. Ann may have slipped twice with eating junk food, but she realized how far she has come and kept going with what she was doing (S2S).
At the same time I was terrified. My coach said it was one of the most intense matches he has ever seen from a JV level, but sadly we feel short of the title. We both worked extremely hard and did our best, so overall I was proud. Whenever I spot the medal I immediately think about how hard I tried to snag the gold one, but how in life you don't always
The painful feeling of defeat. I could see the pure anguish in the eye of my teammates. I knew that we had lost. I knew it before the officials announced the results. During the ceremony, I felt numb and disappointed.
In 2013 I joined the varsity wrestling team. I had never wrestled, and I was not not physically fit, but I wanted to try something new and challenging. I learned the basics of wrestling and competed within two weeks of my first training. I was inexperience and there were many things I did not know, but I worked hard to defeat my opponents and become fit and agile. By the end of the season I wrestled my way into the regional competitions.
That was a proud moment for me, my parents and my coach. At the same time, nothing could have prepared me for the pain I was about to experience in the Sparring round. In the Sparring round, my first few fights were manageable as I used my small stature and my skills to weave around a lot of my opponent’s attacks. But by the 7th fight I was gasping for air. It was at this fight that I had totally exhausted myself and within seconds the referees called my opponent the victor, seeing that I had not even an inkling of a chance to
Wonderful Wrestling A Satirical Perspective on Sports Throughout my life I have been blessed to compete in the oldest sport in the world, wrestling. I’ve been able to compete in all three styles of wrestling and seen success in folkstyle, freestyle, and GrecoRoman. While I could go on about my own personal accomplishments, I would like to point the finger not at myself, but behind me towards the driving forces that play a huge role in my matches. No, I am not talking about the cheerleaders whose use of the same three cheers displays their knack for understanding wrestling.

However, things changed about ten years ago, and I started to pack on the weight. Since then my weight has gone up and down like an elevator.

This struggle of unsuccessfully maintaining the weight loss long-term has led me to realize; I am a perpetual yo-yo dieter.
There are many definitions of wrestling and this mine, a sport about trying to hold the opponent to the ground, usually according to certain rules and regulations. Before becoming a part of the wrestling team, I hold hardly any self confidence. I am extremely shy, I do not like it when someone calls on me, or standing up for myself. A new week is beginning, nothing is changing.
As of now, I am five foot ten and weigh about one hundred and sixty five pounds. I have gained roughly seventy pounds over the last four years. Needless to say I have gained a lot of size and strength along with growing taller which only helped in the process. Weightlifting has changed my life drastically for the better and I do not regret it. The only regret I have is that I should have started earlier but better late than never.
I notice one of my teammates Sebastian scoring and the whole team starts celebrating. As five more minutes pass and finally remember hearing the final whistle and I see everyone celebrating as we have won the championship. As we were done celebrating and packing our stuff we went in a room where I could see the big
