Introduction
So, it’s been quite the journey so far and with my ‘exam’ at the PROJO looming, this may be my penultimate article. The PROJO is pretty intense with when it comes to its assessments to moving into the intermediate class. Very few people graduate from a class and even fewer on their first attempt! So with that said, it’s time for a little wrap up as next week’s article will be about the assessment.
Thank you Progress
To start with, I can’t stress how amazing an experience this has been for me so far. As I’ve stated before, I’m not a stellar athlete and the training has been gruelling, but the guys at the PROJO haven’t made it feel that way. Progress certainly foster the idea of being the best, but that doesn’t mean they shun those that are struggling. The coaches are always willing to jump in when they see you having a tough time.
I can’t speak for any other wrestling schools, but the PROJO always make you feel like you can take yourself to the next level, no matter what. Yes, I forked over £150 to be able to train at the PROJO, but they way you’re treated and ‘nurtured’ makes every penny count!
The People (Whom Rikishi did it for)
Often one hears that wrestling is a sharks business, and perhaps that may be true, but it’s not what I experienced. The guys and gals I’ve trained with are genuinely nice people, even those who have wrestled in the past. This may not be true for all people, and maybe at another class at the PROJO there may be sharks, I guess I must be lucky.
Having great people to train with only inspires you. I struggled early on, but just having a guy you’re practising with go out of their way to help you is really uplifting. Not only that but the ‘Clique’ I’m part of even make life outside of wrestling great. After training, we all grab a pint (Diet Coke is my drink of choice by the way) and discuss that week’s wrestling. Having that sort of positivity in any aspect of life is bound to make some try harder at whatever they’re doing.
What’s in store for My Yard?
I’m not sure if I’ll graduate next week. If I do, well that’ll be damn awesome! I can continue to pursue my dream of being a wrestler and push myself even further. However, there is the possibility I won’t graduate, and I’ve accepted that. If that’s the case, I’ll have no hard feelings.
The first thing I will need to do is step back and assess some things. Why didn’t I pass? Will I try again? If so, when should I ty again? These are all big questions, and each one will have to be assessed individually.
However, if I don’t pass, I will try with every bone in my body to be back in that ring again! I’ll walk away and try to improve myself as hard as I can, and as soon as I feel I’m ready physically and mentally to give it another shot, I’ll be back running the ropes!
You know its true, its damn true.
