If you don't set another school's record for fastest pin (you being the one pinned), you did better than me!

If you lost out fast in a tournament, use cheesy pick-up lines on opposing schools' cheerleaders. It's fun!

If there is a guy who beats you a lot pretty quickly, try something REALLY crazy right as the ref blows the whistle (headlock, bearhug, etc.). It probably won't work, but at least you tried something!

When you discover who you are wrestling and everyone kinda clams up and tells you "oh... you'll do allright," it's probably a sign you're wrestling a REALLY REALLY good wrestler.

And probably most importantly.

Unless you are a freak of nature, you WILL lose. You may lose a few, you may lose a lot. In any event, don't get down! It's important to remember that progress is important. Stick with it and you will excell.
