I was super nervous it felt like i had a gun against my temple. When i got the news that i was going to wrestle for the first time i got excited but at the same time i got really nervous. My coach told me i was going to wrestle a 6'1 185 lb african male. When he told me that i had pooped my pants. I thought to myself should i give up wrestling? Should i even try? This guy was huge! I was only 5'8 170 i was super small compared to him. I had to gain lots of weight, i had to gain 15 lb. To me that was a lot i had to eat a lot in under 4 weeks. The news spread out to all my buddies at Team Reign. They look at me and laughed behind my back. Well i think they should because later on i found out that this guy had won 3rd place in CIF tournament. This was going to be impossible. I was only training with kids who just smoked and got higher than the empire state building they didnt care about wrestling. I had gained 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I was training my butt off super hard. I woke up i thought to myself what a wonderful world.. But wait what? I was in the hospital. I guess i had exceeded the limit of training. My coach told me hey man you gotta slow down you passed out wrestling Gabe. Gabe? Oh my gosh i had wrestled and beaten Gabe. Gabe had 2 CIF titles. And hid parents had him in wrestling before he could even walk. From that day on i knew i was going to beat Roy in under a week. To be my first match this was going to be more harder than getting a girl. I finally thought to myself the impossible was going to happen. I stood proudly on the podium my eye was swollen but how this was wrestling not some MMA fight. I stood in the middle taller than the two men beside me. That day i had earned my first Gold Medal.
