There is No “I” in “Teamwork”
An important lesson from wrestling
“Teamwork is an individual commitment to team effort.” These are my coach’s words. Even though wrestling looks a lot like an individual sport, teamwork is its base, pushing each other through practice and pain and supporting each other during matches.
The season was great. I won a lot of matches, and the ones I lost are the reason I won the next ones. I got second in a tournament and got a medal. A “wrestler”—that’s who I am, and that’s why I’m fighting to enjoy and use every opportunity my exchange year provides me.
