The video shows me, now a seasoned 35-year-old wrestler, stepping onto the mat with a calm but fierce resolve against a brash young opponent whose confidence bordered on arrogance. Throughout our bout, his aggressive lunges met my years of honed technique, and after a tense back-and-forth, I caught him in a moment of his own hubris, flipping the script with a classic move that pinned him down for the count. There's a certain satisfaction in the shot where I stand victorious, offering him a hand up—not just as a victor, but as a veteran teaching the next generation about respect and the sweet science of wrestling.
