And I just kind of, like, let that one go. But, you know, I mean, this happened, like, a few times, definitely.

I think most of the team, though, really respected it because I remember doing the conditioning rounds at the end of every practice. We'd have so much conditioning to do. And I would always be trying to outwork the guys in that. realm. So we'd be running sprints or we'd be running lines back and forth. And if they were not, I always had my sights set on the next closest guy.

If they were not pushing their hardest, like I was going to beat them. And, you know, I did in those conditioning rounds, I beat a lot of them. So, um, I made them work. I made the teamwork. I held them a little bit more accountable than they probably would have liked at certain times, but, you know, they ended up embracing me and the brotherhood and everything, um, really as time went on and,

I remember that there was a moment when there was a girl that came out on the team And she was very cute. She was very cutesy. She had really, you know, tiny tight little shorts on and, you know, just not wrestler type wear. And she was, you know, yeah, she was very flirtatious and cute and giggly. She really wasn't taking practice seriously and whatnot.

get her out of here. And you know, it was, that was the moment that I felt like they looked at me different than they looked at any other female on the team. And I always thought it was funny. And although I always wanted other females to come out on the team desperately, I wanted more girls on the team and I would try to recruit women all the time.

I did want them to be there for the right reasons, you know? And so I kind of just, you know, wrestled hard with her, wrestled tough with her, you know, just like the guys did with me. And, you know, and yeah, I mean, she didn't last. You know, there was obvious from the very beginning that she really wasn't there to wrestle.

As females, it was very rare to see a female make it through the male division. And if so, it was usually the really small weight girls because they have a more likelihood that they're wrestling for one less experienced guys because 103 pound guys usually are not seniors.
