Countdowns

During practices usually at the end of practice when we are all tired. Our coaches make us condition to make sure we are in the mind set of pushing through. We sometimes are a loud to pick out of certain workouts to do at the end of practice. On that day we picked to do countdowns. Countdowns start at 10. The team works their way down from their. We start with sprinting in place for ten seconds then ten up-downs. Next is ten pushups, then ten situps. While we do this we have a person in the middle who's the one who leads the countdowns. He makes sure everyone's doing the work, and we keep a good pace.

 On that day I was chosen to do the countdowns. I was really energetic I was going quickly paying little attention to the counting. I'm counting then I get to eight. I feel really tired when I get to eight which makes me start questioning how much energy I really have. So we're still at eight I'm super tired I finish eight finally. So I call out "We're on eight" then I hear someone reply
"WE'RE ON SIX YOU'VE DONE EIGHT THREE TIMES" I get really embarrassed.
I reply "Oh well then five more then lets go" we continue to finish, but from then on I made sure I was keeping the numbers right when we did countdowns.

Mundos head

During the early practices we teach the new wrestlers new moves. Everyone from the wrestling team was sitting around watching him teach the move. To help the coach when he was showing us the move he had picked me for his partner. I have a tendency to mess around when we show the moves to get a good laugh from the team. The coach that was showing the moves was bald, and I had tendency to make jokes off that. As he showed the move I went along giving all the necessary resistance he needed.

 We ended in a position of me behind his head. As I had a habit to do I pretended to lick his head and polish it, because well he's bald. As I do this the team laughs and unknown to me he turned around and saw me doing this. I finally notice he saw me doing this when he says "Are you trying to lick my head?" The expression on my face must have been priceless, because the entire team including the coach started to crack up.

Poem

My last names Evans,
People say I'm a gift from the heavens
I’ve loved to dance,
Since before I was seven
Dancing not my only pride and joy
I’m told I’m a very talented boy
Along with dance I sing and beatbox
I’d like to add I have dread lock
I can even wrestle people out of their socks
and that's just me
If you don't like it then you may flee

Chuck norris

My wrestling team, with the coaches and the wrestlers, have a lot of funny moments in the wrestling room that always give us of the team some laughs after. The verbal mix-ups or just silly things that go on in the room are usually easily remembered, and extremely funny. Sometimes we have "coaches" that come in to volunteer to help, and wrestle with the team. Those are usually where the really funny quotes come in from. So far in the years that I've wrestled my all time favorite has been; "My mom never came to any of my high school wrestling matches....THAT'S FIVE YEARS" That was a good quote from one of those volunteer coaches who we called Chuck Norris due to his last name of Norris.  Now we all know theirs only four years in high-school  we all have gotten quite a bit of a laugh out his little mess-up. He had been angry at the team and been giving the team a speech on how he was taking his time to come out and help us improve in wrestling. Somehow we veered him into the topic of him wrestling in high school. This then got him angry when we corrected him on his lack of knowledge that their is only in fact four years in high-school. This made him angry then he decided he was going to threaten to leave by saying "I DON'T HAVE TO BE AROUND HERE HELPING YOU I HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO" Us being the people we are informed him that we too had homework which he responded with "I HAVE COLLEGE HOMEWORK SO I'M PEACIN OUT!" He did actually leave after saying he was ""peacin out" which launched all of us into a fit of laughter. The good times in wrestling are always happening and there's many older ones and most likely more to come.
