Personal Narrative: My Athletic Experience
It was in the year 2011 and I was in 6th grade. I went out to seek new athletic experience. So I did it and I joined the wrestling team at my junior high. It was a very different hobby as I had never been in a match or even know what It was about. As time came I started understanding more and more until I got better at the sport. A couple of days before my first match I earned a varsity spot. I felt like I wasn't ready, but that wasn't gonna stop me from going out there and doing the best I can. When the day came I was very nervous. I was so nervous I felt my heart beating very hard. My match was next and I was warming up. I came out on the mat and I saw my opponent in the eyes and we were ready. We got on our stance and it all started. There were many people watching, the parents, my team, the other teams present and my coaches.I saw the crowds standing up screaming, jumping, and moving their hands all over.

After the first period ended, we wen on to the second. I felt like I was doing pretty good, but It wasn't over. After a couple of takedowns and rolling around here and there and i got pinned. I was kind of mad, but since I had never wrestled before I felt I could've done more to my ability than what i had shown out on the mat, but i felt good since I had an acceptable performance for a beginners standards.I went to go take a seat and my coach stopped me and told me that for my first match I did pretty good. I felt the same way, but felt like It was still a loss. He also said they were tough teams and it was my first match but in varsity so it wasn't gonna be easy for a first match. What I really liked was the he said If I train harder I will do better. Well, obviously if you train more you will get better, but at least he didn't say something
