Wrestling

so wrestling started a while ago. a couple weeks ago.
wrestling is a really cool sport.
it is really hard
it is miserable
it has no payoff
no one cares about how the wrestlers did at their last tournament
"wrestlers are a dying breed
everyone wants to win but no one wants to work" -coach tod workman
that is exactly what i happening on our team
we had a rumor going around that the heat got turned up really high in the room so half the kids didn't show up
it was a true rumor but that just proves my point.
anyways i love wrestling
i don't know if its dripping sweat or the total physical pain
i haven't decided.
but i have recently been getting hurt.
my first week at wrestling i pulled both of my hamstrings in my knees
this week my back started hurting
it makes me really mad
i hate being injured.
and i hate telling coaches that i am hurt because it always seems to me that they think i am faking.
and then after practice when the rest of the team finished practice and i just watched i feel like i'm not part of the team.
that bothers me.
when my knees used to hurt i would at least start practice and then stop at the end because they really hurt
but with my back everyone is telling me to suck it up
and my back hurts worse.
and then i feel like i'm not being a good partner because when i do suck it up i can't go all out
and thats not helping anyone
its just
FRUSTRATING

I love you, Vance, I think you are one of the toughest kids I know. And, you have a brain and choose to use it, thanks.
