Long weekend of competition at the State Championships. I was optimistic going into the weekend that I would improve on my performance from previous tournaments. I felt good going into the tournament and made weight without difficulty. I wrestled hard and my coach said he sees progress every week. I didn't place as high as I had hoped, and was frustrated with my performance.
Frustration can work to your advantage though. During my last match on day 2 I decided to leave it all on the mat. I tried a throw that I had never tried before. He was in danger, but then he countered and scored. I lost the match, but won the battle. After the match, my opponent told me how much I frustrated him throughout the match. I had improved since our previous match up.
Frustration.... I will use it to keep surprising you. Eventually I will beat you!
