Wrestling With The Past

I wrestled my old teammate Sean today, I was tired but refused to sit at the side. My leg rides still kinda work on him, they work on most every Warren Wrestler. But Sean’s good, former Varsity 145’s. However, apparently he was never part of the Nicole Basher’s Club.
“C’mon Nicole, come on, keep going,” he [...]

Make a Commitment to Yourself Right Now

August 29, 06
“Make a commitment to yourself right now that you will not stop, that you will respect yourself enough to give it all you got.”
That’s what the KOTC fighter said as we were jogging around the room at the end of practice getting ready to bust our asses through conditioning. Something about the way [...]

“I Never Go Easy On You”

August 28, 06
I still don’t know my partner’s name. The guy I carried up the bleachers during Hell Week, we usually pair up now. He came off a freestyle wrestling background, I’m coming from brazilian jiu jitsu.
“Go hard, you know you can.”
You bet I can “heck yeah.”
“I always go hard on you, gives you a [...]

I Made It Through Cerritos Wrestling Hell Week

August 24, 06
Day 1
A former Cerritos Wrestler who now fights in KING OF THE CAGE came down to condition us in the room. We sprawled and we shot and we sprawled into a shot and sprawled some more and we jump squatted and did pushups and pushups and pushups until no state champ in the [...]

“Good Job Girl”

August 24, 06
We finished the last day of Cerritos Wrestling Hell Week today.

I hated that thoughts of giving up [...]

“Why Do You Shave Your Legs?”

August 22, 06
“Hey man, why are your legs shaved??”
I realized right then that I’d goofed. Crap! Guys don’t shave their legs!
“To get a tan.”
Oh man, if they don’t know I’m a girl, now they think I’m gay!
“So you can’t get a tan without shaving your legs…?”
“Not really….” okay gotta think of something better than that, [...]

“Hey You’re A Girl Right?”

August 18, 2006
Well, week one of Cerritos Wrestling wasn’t hardly as bad as I thought it would be. Firstly the coach is a nice guy who appreciates hard workers. He’s not looking for punks who are great wrestlers, he’s looking for dedicated, teachable athletes who won’t quit on him. Well I think the bruises on [...]

Wrestling Season Starts Soon

August 5, 2006
Well, Cerritos College Wrestling starts in about a week. Don’t ask me why I’m going out for the team, don’t ask me why I haven’t given up on wrestling. After what happened in high school with wrestling, I’m suprised I haven’t given up on living.
I remember that day like a soldier’s flashbacks. [...]
