我的爸爸,我的心,我们的运动

My Dad,My Heart,Our Sport

我第一次踏上摔垫是在六岁的时候,但我所有的家人都喜欢说我从出生那天起就开始接触摔了。那是因为我爸爸曾经是一名摔教练,非常热衷于这项运动。他曾指导过州冠军,他不断推动他们登上胜利领奖台的顶峰。之后,他们都说他们多么爱他。我十二岁时,爸爸就不再执教了,但他从未放弃自己对这项运动的热爱。

The first time I stepped onto a wrestling^(1)mat^(2), I was six, but all my family members like to say I got started in wrestling the day I was born. That’s because my dad used to be a wrestling coach and was pretty intense^(3)about the sport. He had coached state champions, guys he pushed and pushed to make them get to the top of the victory podium^(4). Afterward, they all said how much they loved him.
