Hello fellow classmates I am Andrew Moller. I grew up in the small-town of Windom Minnesota with the total population being a little more than four thousand people. During the eighth grade I joined wrestling. Wrestling was one the most humbling experiences I have ever had. My eighth-grade record showed I did not win a single one of the twenty match's I wrestled. Even though I did not win a single match the previous year I still rejoined freshman year. This year I started going to the varsity morning practice's even though I was no were close to varsity level. During practice I would try to wrestle against more experienced wrestlers, I almost never won in practice against my teammates. I was still losing matches but by smaller margins than before instead of getting pinned I was lasting all three periods of the match, until I finally won my first match in my freshman year. Towards the end of my freshman year I was wrestling on the varsity team. …show more content…
Wrestling showed me that if you put in the work you will get results. Wrestling also taught me the results won't be instantaneous, I did much more losing than winning my first two years. I learned that real confidence comes from falling and getting back up, and that if you want success you have to be willing to fall down. Immediately after high school I joined the military. As all my friends where moving into their dorm rooms, I was on a plane to San Antonio, Texas. Where I spent two months learning how the military works. The motto of basic military training was "hurry up to wait". I think this is where I learned to be patient in life, the other trainees and I would stand outside in the august heat of Texas waiting to be marched to the cafeteria or the dormitory. At the end of the two months they give you a coin and you get on another plane or bus to go to a technical

Recently, the decision has been made to remove the sport of wrestling from the Olympics in the year 2020. This heavily-debated decision was made because it is said that wrestling does not produce adequate ticket sales and is not popular enough on the global scale. Therefore, it has been proposed that it be replaced with karate or rock climbing. With this major change in the Olympics, many are bound to suffer, such as Olympic hopefuls or even nations that are successful in wrestling. Wrestling should not be removed from the Olympics because it is a historic and quintessential part of the event.
Being the only girl there noone wanted to be my drilling partner. Many guys would avoid eye contact with me as I cast for a drilling partner , the fear of hurting me would petrify them away. I decided to do my own research I learned a couple of techniques and on the next week I was already hitting them on my drilling partner. Coach always told me "just keep going keep on fighting" and that’s what I did by the first month of training my coach was comfortable enough to put me in my first wrestling tournament. This opportunity showed me that all the hard work and sweat in tears I had put in that room will finally be put to test.
I am Tahnieah Leach the daughter of Letisha Allen and the granddaughter of Angela Leach out of Chadbourn North Carolina. I attend West Columbus High School in Cerro Gordo were I was a former cheerleader, track runner, and also participated in the dance, theater, chorus, and talent search programs offered at my school. If I had to describe myself I would say I was a very outgoing, determined, and dedicated person. When I have a goal, passion, or interest in something I dedicate my time to learn more about it, perfect, and mater it. My high school career has been a mixture of ups downs twist and turns but through it all it has taught me many life lessons and has been four years to remember. High school has shown me who I really am as a person, it has
In the first 20 seconds of the match, I had the first take-down. I was working crossfaces, cheap tilts, and everything else I knew after my takedown. Then, I did what I do best and gave him a swift, hard crossface and cradeled him up. Squeezing with all my strength and might it took about 7 seconds of him being on his back and he was pinned! It took a total of 55 seconds to pin my first opponent at state.
It was in that environment I felt like an important factor for the team, as my teammates were as well. FI spent three years on the team into all levels into varsity, where I had to adjust with new people, players above my skill and experience it was a real privilege for me to learn from. In addition to my entry into Wrestling, I was placed on a roster among varsity and jv levels holding position of captain for a minimum of a year made the experience worth every amount of pain in practice. In my mindset, I
As a member of the wrestling team, I developed the physical toughness to become a member of the U.S. armed services. There, I learned what hard work was. After running as a team for miles on end, we moved to the mats to work on individual technique. We wrestled and struggled till we couldn't move. It was more about outlasting the other guy for six minutes straight in a true match, therefore the guy most in shape won. When the coach
The sport of wrestling became my entire life when I was eight years old and it is the reason I am the man you see today. Wrestling helped me discover who I am as a person, and it is also a big factor in the career path that I am on today. There are countless times during my wrestling career that have been life lessons and eye openers to me, one incident that stands out from the rest was the first wrestling tournament of the season.
Wrestling has also taught me how to be tough and grit my teeth when things get hard. The sport of wrestling has impacted me a lot and has helped shape me into who I am today. It will carry over for the rest of my life and define me of who I am. I will always carry over the mentality of being a wrestler and my competitive edge. Wrestling has impacted me by making me social with others and meet
Although there are legendary figures in sports that I could aspire to be as proficient as them, I’m more in favor of playing sports as a hobby. My brothers were the ones to introduce wrestling to me, and over the years it has grown onto me. For me, wrestling dismisses the notions of joining other sports like Football and Baseball that I don’t have any notable natural ability to play. With it being one of the only physical activities I do, during the wrestling season it is the only time that I am truly dedicated to staying fit and healthy. With the sport’s rigorous training, it teaches discipline, while building up willpower.
My first memory of wrestling was in fourth grade when I was wrestling someone who was way bigger than me. He just kicked my butt.
My freshman and sophomore year of high school I went to Liberty where I decided I was going to try out for the wrestling team, from there on I only lost eleven matches out of sixty one matches I would end up winning districts both years. Our wrestling team had head coaches that had a culture of winning and competing, as well as having State Champions wrestlers who truly loved wrestling. Then junior year came and I was forced to change schools to attend Independence where I had no one to practice with, plus having a brand new head coach, which had been given only three wrestlers and the rest students that have never wrestled before causing limits on the amount of wrestling concepts that are learned so in result practice ends up being a
