Christmas Break with Alex and Payton

2nd Wrestling meet

These Wrestling meets are a MAD house there are 100s of kids everywhere
Alex did incredible he won a 2nd place silver medal
1st place went to his good friend Rhys Johnson who also plays on his footbal team and also is the whole reason Alex is even wrestling.
Actually he had to wrestle against Rhys who is in his 2nd year of wrestling.
Alex's first match was forfeitted because the wrestler was a no show.
His next challenge was a kid from Milford who Alex beat with an initial quick move takedown...the kid twisted ghis ankle and was done
then he had to wrestle Rhys...it was a tuff match Rhys took Alex down twice and Alex took Rhys down once Rhys came back with the final takedown so he won 3-1

Alex and Rhys were both really really tired . They both also got metals

Alex was pumped! ...

if you can keep a secret so was I

Wrestling has started

Alex had his first beginners match today He won his first match and lost his 2nd and 3rd match.

He was upset and wanted to quit .....but I think this is just a temporary thing. Wrestling is a tuff sport because its all on your personal ability and everyone watches you..so there's no hiding

One more thing...there is no real way to practice wrestling you just have to keep doing it and you get better by default.

You WIN or LOSE right there in front of 100's of people

It can be very intimidating..

Speaking of intimidating check out the pics
