Wresting season

It was my senior year and wrestling was approaching. I was nervous but excited at the same time. This was my last year to accomplish a goal that I set my freshman year. My goal was to win the Mid State six conference tournament. I almost accomplished this goal my junior year but I fell short because of injury. I was forced to sit out the whole season. This was a major setback for me. I felt I would never be the same wrestler after that, but I soon realized that it didn't matter about what happened last year.

I came into the first practice determined and focused on the goals I had. After the First Five matches in the season I had five wins and no losses, my coached named me one of the captains of the team after the meet. This was one of the best feelings I've had in my wresting career, this achievement made me believe in myself even more. After a long season it was almost time for conference. I had a record of 28-5,I was very proud of it and all of my achievements I had earned this season. The week before conference I spent my time resting and helping out other teammates. When it finally came down to the tournament I couldn't wait to prove to myself that I could do this. The tournament turned out great, I pinned all of my opponents in the first period and won the conference title. This accomplishment of mine showed me that I am capable of doing anything if I just put my head to it. I will always remember that day and how it changed my life for the better.
