Pinned -- My Life As A High School Wrestler

[@marshalldabeast]

Great documentary. My dad was a highschool wrestler in the 80s also. He developed a brain tumor shortly before I joined the wrestling team. He never got to see my first match but I love the sport.

[@kcmiz1270]

+Marshall Brown Wish you the best of luck this season, your dad would be so proud!

[@DannyMcKinney1]

+Marshall Brown - Hey Marshall, hang in there. I think your dad would be very proud too!

[@jackstratif6937]

+Dan McKinney When did you make this?

[@DannyMcKinney1]

I finished Pinned in 2002. Can't believe it's almost 15 years old!

[@jackstratif6937]

Dan McKinney As a former high school wrestler, this definitely resonates and takes me back. For all the work that wrestlers put in, they get virtually no glory. However, the old Dan Gable saying that "Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy," is true in my opinion. Beautiful documentary!!

[@sabrinawhite7130]

Brought tears to my eyes. This past season was my first season wrestling and it was the absolute hardest thing I've ever endured mentally in my entire life. As you said in the video , I really did have a losing mentality. I was a "freshman" wrestling against seniors constantly , which ultimately would immediately crush my self-belief every time I stepped on the mat. Suddenly all the training I did , all the 3 hour practices , went to waste. Because I knew I was going to loose.One thing you said really caught my attention: " it was a relief to loose." I will never be the same person I was this past season. I know what I've done wrong now , and next season , I'm wrestling to win. Great video!

[@nickstanton2446]

Sabrina White I was in your EXACT position two years ago. I'm now a Junior and let me tell you, I sucked my first year in HS wrestling but I kept pushing, wanting to get better and now I'm an amazing wrestler, especially for my weight class. Keep that mentality, push forward and don't give up!👍🏼

[@lastpatriot7506]

2nd year. First year was last year as a freshman. Contemplated on coming back. Then thought what if I'm in my 60s 70s or even 80s and on my death bed regretting and wishing I stayed with it. So here I am

[@benaiahuchiha-senju7745]

those of you guys who's first wrestling year is this year and are looking up wrestling videos to be better, I got some advice for you all. First, these videos won't make you better. to better yourself, you will have to do that on the practice mat. Yes you will be hit in the balls, yes you will go against hairy wrestlers who look intimidating, yes it is the hardest sport in highschool. if you think jv will be tough, you got another thing coming. but your aim as a jv wrestler is not a spot on varsity or a states championship. as a jv wrestler you will know what losing and winning is. you jv wrestlers will get mostly 3rd and 4th places. but because of those loses, they will drive you to a point where you don't want to be a loser any more. you're going to be at a point where you don't want to be a practice dummy anymore. you're eventually going to be at a point where you want to be a wrestler and a winner. believe me, that feeling you will get when you have your opponent in a pin, and the ref blows his whistle then lifts your hand in front of everybody is the most amazing feeling ever. that feeling is what winning feels like. having everyone in the building clapping and cheering at you because you've won. but the feeling of crying, and walking away and hearing everyone clapping for your opponent is the worst. use that feeling of defeat as a motivation to better yourself.

[@ryanmorales2090]

Benaiah Uchiha-Senju thanks dude 😊

[@reibee888]

Ah thanks i've never won a single match yet and this was a real motivation

[@nathanbritenfeld8161]

this is my second year...last year we had 22+ wrestlers now the only reason I'm varsity is cuz we have 6 wrestlers...and everything you said is true haha

[@emeryshurpit8656]

I was a first year freshmen this year, and I caught on pretty easily. I went 20-17 and was regional runner-up.

[@elfboygaming3416]

im a freshman, now in jv, im doing well, but our varsity had got injured, so i was the substitute varsity, im 6-3 varsity record and 4-0 jv, the only reason i cant be varsity is bcus i could beat the 113, but going from 106 to 113 seems like a struggle, n the varsity 106 is amazing and utterly destroys me

[@billbrowne5655]

Thanks for the video, Dan. I was also one of those "detached" wrestlers. I never had the killer instinct. I wrestled because I liked the training and camaraderie of my teammates. I won more matches than I lost, but I was on a very competitive large high school team, so I was surrounded by guys who were very much into it. I was a pretty good baseball player, but it is nowhere near the emotional drain you can go through as a wrestler.

[@brandoncaraballo9133]

Nothing gets me more pumped for season I watch this video like 15 times even before my first state match and it pumps me up every time

Hey Dan. One of our current members of the wrestling team discovered this. I watched it after many years. As always, it brought tears to my eyes. I am glad you omitted the outtakes! ;) Peace to you and yours. I still have your Beat book. Let me know where I can send it.

[@infledermaus]

I kept waiting for the foot to fall, the announcement that your father had passed away. I'm so happy to hear that he made it for 16 years. That's amazing. What a fighter. My sister lost her battle after only 6, but we are glad for those 6 years. She was a fighter, too, but the tumor was just too big when they found it. Great film. Thank you for sharing. Inspirational.

[@nelithsiriwardhana8822]

So sorry for your loss

[@gnarrdog]

Great video. I learned a lot of life lessons from wrestling.

[@thenothingking]

Your story is exactly what I’m going through right now. I didn’t make basketball or football and was pretty far in middle school. I said “fuck being fat” last year (freshman year) and I joined the wrestling team (my pe teacher last year is the head wrestling coach and he pushed me to do it) I was 170 last year, I’m 152 this year and developed some muscle. I haven’t won a match yet and I keep thinking just as you said “why do this, getting beat up over and over, the humiliation” I honestly thought I was the only one who was going through this. This gave me confidence to keep going and get hyped for practice today. The kid who got upset and punched the wall? I did almost the same thing except I tore my pec or something (I forget). I cant emphasize enough how alone I felt until this video.

[@nelithsiriwardhana8822]

Stay strong bro I know this comment was from a while ago and you’re probably done with HS wrestling but how did it go?

[@thenothingking]

@@nelithsiriwardhana8822 yeah I’m in college now. I quit wrestling a few weeks after I made that comment and it was probably the best decision I could make. I gave it my all and it just wasn’t working anymore. Found better things (weightlifting) and other hobbies to keep me very active. Now I’m joining the army :P

Wow this gave me so many flashbacks, there is nothing like it. I miss this high

[@andrew_8317]

Never became a beast of a wrestler until I started training with guys who could whoop my ass with ease. After three years I improved so much I could beat my coach. One thing that really helped me was to learn how to be aggressive. If you let the other person control the tempo of the match, you are bound to lose. You have to keep moving and commit 100% to every move you attempt. You can beat yourself in wrestling if you are not mentally strong, that's why the best of wrestlers train like soldiers.

[@czr4752]

Beautiful. Im a wrestler from Illinois (this is my second year, but I am a freshman in highschool.) And this really "woke" me up. Thank you.

Very beautiful documentary and story. I’m very glad that god granted your father 16 more years. God bless

[@ke0wnenathanmixon400]

I'm in middle school and this year was my first year wrestling and I broke my finger on the first meet. It is more of an emotional sport than physical. I remember walking onto that mat knowing I have a broken finger and knowing that I'll loose. It's a very bad felling but even though that happened I still am going to wrestle next year because I work out and I am very strong but emotionally I am weak. Because of this video I will work and stay with wrestling my whole life.

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

Wrestling is the only sport where the participants takes with them more than the sport takes from them. Outstanding documentary.

[@powerrangerspt2306]

you’re a bit older than me but i can tell you that once you watch vids like these, wrestling is all you think about. watched this vid in 7th grade and wrestling became a year round addiction, placed 5th in state 8th grade and now undefeated as a freshman on varsity. one piece of advice: make wrestling your drug! good luck, man.

[@lave1341]

Im a freshman, first year wrestling, and I lost 13 out of fifteen matches my entire season. First one I won was a forfit as well; and let me tell you, when I got that first win... I was stunned. Last tournament of the season before districts and I had won my first match. Nobody said anything but my partner. I sat for almost twenty minutes before it really hit me and went off to cry. My season was crazy; at my schools tournament, first of the season I competed in, and I wrestled against a girl from the best girls team in our district. I went into three overtime matches. Having never done a single sport before in my life I was exhausted. Bothing my coach said was getting through to me, everything was muddled and all of the sudden i hear "One more point and you win." And I just drive. At the end of my match her coaches pulled me aside and told me how wonderful I'd done and how i had a bright season to come. My coach told me he was proud as other girls on the team watched me; i was srill out of breath, wheezing and hyperventilating but relatively calm. Trying my hardest not to cry, becuase the match mentally whipped my ass as much as it did physically. I leave the gym and hide out the locker room, make sure it's empty and just scream. I sit in the bleachers, and as soon as my mom touches me i the tears finally fall. I was so mad to be done. That match which should have given me hope to improve ripped me apart and left me incontinent for the rest of my season. I maybe took four shots out of all of my season after that. I make it to districts becuase I'm the only one in my weight class, and while i was still an unconfident wrestler, I became passionate for the sport. Like.... Ive tried so many things previously in my life and none of them really stuck to me, but wrestling makes me determined. I fought my best but lost both matches. A braquet of 5, all I had to do was win one match to move on. And i got last. I was okay and at peace with that; I'd tried what i thought was my hardest. I'd accepted what life was, and as the regional qualifiers practiced, i sat on the sidelines, doing homework, yearning to be with my team. It was okay though. Two days before regionals i get a messae from my coach. Someone in my weight class got injured. I could compete in regionals. Later that day i find out the girl who got injured was from the match that snapped me. A senior, at that. I went through practice in the boys uniform that are washed all together and in spare shoes three sizes too big until my mom brought mine half way through, against guys in my weight class; 138. I got back to it the next day with girls in the weight classes above me. 148, 158, and 165 (we did a group of 4 rotation) regionals came and my first match was against a girl who had won for my weight class last year; her record being 3 loses - 40 wins for the year. Another senior. I lasted all three rounds before being pinned, and ultimately it was one of my best matches. Wrestling is a hard fucking sport. Both mentally and physically its draining, but that one win I got erased all the pain from the begining. My off season won't be spent fumbling with the basics but growing and learning. Next pre season I'm going to grow. The sport has sucked me in; I'm sticking with it ans hope you do to. The day you can kick ass wil come.

[@julianvilla5536]

I am a 17 year old junior wrestling at 160lbs-170lbs. My freshman year was miserable, that summer I started to train but would have my ass handed to me by the sophomores,juniors, and seniors. I barley won 3 matches that season amd my first win was from a girl. I ended up taking 7th from that same tournament after beating some dude. My sophomore year was just as miserable, I played football and broke my wrist before the season for wrestling. Not only that but I was out of shape. After lossing and being eliminated from tournaments and dual meets I was so done. However I kept going to practice in the varsity room. This one dual however something sparked in me. I used all that rage,harnest it and turned it into aggression. I beat the kid 12-4 amd made that match miserable for him. I think he was a junior. I ended up making it for the CIF (state) team duals. I lost but first experience. Now my jumior year I have 7-8 record. Yes not as good but I must work on it. I remember watching this video my freshman year, then sophomore year. Now my junior year. I have improved but haven't unlocked my full potential to become a champion. My coaches tell me "you can beat those dudes up, you just have to go out there and be dominant". In order to become a CIF state Champion I must be dominant. I must never underestimate my opponent for he has endured pain as well. But for the most part, I will be dominant.

[@Honken]

Which works for the kids who are confident and already dedicated. When you're a "winner", any adversity is fuel for you to overcome it. If however, you're doubting yourself or feel out of place, it's just more anxiety and pressure that you're already having trouble handling. Push the kids who are already there, help those that aren't.

[@austinwilliams7739]

If you can't handle it then you aren't ready for the sport my coaches are tough in the room and nice outside

[@ronaldreagan7551]

I don’t wrestle and never have but I don’t think he is. I have managed baseball and can tell you that making people mad does help them. It builds determination and the desire to work hard and win. You become so focused on proving your coach wrong that you begin playing and competing harder and better.

Amazing documentary this isn’t exactly what wrestling is for me as I’m am a regional placer and state qualifier and have always wrestled so i can prove my worth to myself and my peers but i do notice that i was going through many of the things you went through when i started at 15.

I don't get the message u shouldn't know definitely you'll win a match a few times u should know 100% of the time you'll win because u put in more work and have the mentality and the heart to beat anyone

“Shoulder blades pinned to the mat for a count of three.” Come the fuck on, Dan. You can’t possibly have ever wrestled and made that mistake.

I kind of disagree with the whole “you have to be fired up to wrestle hard” thing. If you are taught and train hard, that’s how you will compete…just need to be able to tune out the distractions of “I’m tired, he looks jacked/is rlly good etc” and get locked in on wrestling

If you watch closely at 11:10-11:14 they tell the kid to take off his shorts and he’s already in his underwear.
