for me. I began taking wrestling seriously, if somewhat unconsciously at first. Thoughts of wrestling techniques began to take over my daydreams of other sports. In short, I began to give myself over to it. As I mentioned, I was a chubby kid in fifth grade, weighing around 130 pounds. I was having a little success, but I didn’t have many kids my size to wrestle. That meant the whatever weight brackets I found myself in at tournaments were sparsely populated.
