It is with love and humility that I also dedicate this book to my only son Matthew Steven Mitchell. My two grandchildren, Autumn Nicole Mitchell and Matthew Steven Mitchell(M.J.). I hope and pray this book will open their hearts and minds in a positive way, by causing positive change. So they will become all they were meant to be in life.

This book is written for every person who wants a better future for themselves and others. This book gives me the opportunity to give back and help those who I've hurt and taken from, help those who don't know what they want out of life, don't know who to trust, how to handle their emotions and most of all. How to love themselves.

I definitely can't forget the wrestlers and coaches, I've been blessed to coach and coach with. Thank you guys for believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. I can honestly say; I love you all. I learned a lot about myself and how to handle people and situations while being coach. I really don't miss coaching in the matches. I miss the talks and crazy things you guys would do or say. It is awesome seeing what you guys have become, which has gaving me way more joy than any big match you guys have won. I just wanna say thanks for the memories and I love you all.

I wanna give a special thanks to the manager(K.T.), who made it looked like I knew what I was doing, when sometimes I may have been confuse or lost track of the match. Thank You sooooooooooooooo much xoxoxoxoxoxo.

My overall hope is the person(s) reading this book. Have a attitude and mindset, that no-one or anything can stop you from reaching your GOALS and DREAMS. Please Watch & Listen https://youtu.be/_PUF-I9UKRM

Introduction

My name is Timothy D Mitchell, I've been involved with amateur wrestling since 1981. As a wrestler, coach and official. There isn't much I haven't seen when it comes to amateur wrestling. I love this sport so much until I wanted to learn everything there is to know about this great sport. I'm also a person who has been through some things and situations. Some I caused, and some just happen to me when dealing with this thing called; LIFE. I'm just like most. I've had good and bad come my way in life. I've done many things that wasn't smart or right, for which I paid a price for. One smart thing I did, was joining the wrestling team in junior high school.

Not only is wrestling a great sport to participate in. This is one sport that will help you long after your wrestling career is over. Being a wrestler. I learned how to handle many situations that have come my way. I feel there's nothing I can't achieve or have anything to fear. This is a direct result from being a wrestler. This book is about me becoming a wrestler, how it relates to life and how wrestling has helped me on and off the mat(life). I hope to help any pre-teen or teenager, thinking about becoming a wrestler. I want to give some insight into what's ahead of them if they decided to join the greatest sport ever(Wrestling).

I will show, how a person doesn't have to be a wrestler to think like a wrestler. There is the saying that's used often and is so very true; Wrestling is just like life.

I will parallel the two, just to show how true this is. A wrestlers mind is unlike any mind on earth. A wrestlers mind fears nothing or no one. This is a very hard mind to break. Another saying is; wrestling is hard life is easy.

I hope to inspire not just wrestlers but everyone reading this book. I want you to believe in yourself, to be the best you can be in every part of your life. A wrestler has to be the best in every phase of wrestling. This book will teach you not to give up when things or going bad and also not be satisfied when things or going well. Just like in wrestling, things can change in an instant. As the same in life .
