I wrote this poem thinking about all the younger wrestlers just starting out their high school wrestling careers and finding their path in the best sport ever!

The First Step to the Mat

On the edge of the mat, where dreams begin,
A new wrestler stands, ready to dive in.
Eyes wide with wonder, heart pounding fast,
Stepping into a world where courage is cast.

The whistle blows softly, the first step is taken,
An unknown path, yet there's no mistaking,
That every great journey starts with a leap,
And the dreams of the future are yours to keep.

Sweat on the brow, muscles tense and tight,
Each movement a challenge, each breath a fight.
But within every struggle, and through every fall,
Lies the strength to rise up, the heart to stand tall.

The mats may seem daunting, the moves so new,
Yet with each grapple and takedown, you’ll find what’s true.
A spirit unbreakable, a will that won’t bend,
In every round fought, a champion you’ll send.

So embrace the challenge, the sweat, and the grind,
For in the heart of the struggle, your courage you'll find.
With each match you wrestle, with each lesson learned,
You'll rise with the knowledge that success is earned.

The first step is daunting, the journey is long,
But with heart and with grit, you'll find you belong.
In the world of wrestling, where warriors unite,
Your spirit will shine, and your future is bright.

Have a great weekend,
Jon Gums
