I felt like an absolute failure
10th grade I tried out for my high-school baseball team
Playing baseball my whole life
After 3 days of tryouts the results were posted up
Im excited searching for my name
But…My name wasn’t on the final roster…
After quitting wrestling for the year, just focusing on baseball
I was embarrassed, seeing my other friends make the team and im just sitting on the side questioning everything I sacrificed that year
My head is starting to say things like
“Your a loser, you suck, you’ll never be good at sports”
Having a chip on my shoulder…for baseball that year
I decided to go back to wrestling the next year instead of going back to wrestling
And I ended up winning my first few matches that year and the coaches trusted me to be a leader on the team seeing my improvement
Wrestling taught me that just when you think your finished you have WAY MORE in you left than you think
If it weren’t for me ever going back to wrestling I wouldn’t be the person I am today…I wouldn’t have the drive I do
So sometimes going through the failure NEEDS to happen to show you the path your meant to take…
