Team

Being part of a team is more than just working together to accomplish a goal. It's more like helping your family reach their highest level of performance. During the course of a sports season, you and your teammates get very close and when a close-knit group of people push each other, you get results. Our school's wrestling team consistently has one of the best teams in the state, and it's not just the great coaches we have. There are a bunch of guys in one wrestling room for 2 hours straight working their butts off, and when you wrestle someone who is working that hard, you have to go that hard or you will get destroyed. And individuals on a team will often put the team before themselves. This year at the section wrestling tournament a wrestler competed for his team on a torn ACL, risking even more serious injury, to make sure that his team could keep the lead. That is what team is about.
