Here at Fruita 8/9 I interviewed Bean Engel a freshman and asked her some questions about her and her sport here are her responses. “I do wrestling, I think it's fun, keeps me active, and to be with all my friends, what I do to stay fit when wrestling season is off I like to do running, rollerblading, and weights. I have been wrestling for 2 years.
What inspires me to keep going is making my team and my family proud. I’d love to recommend this sport to everyone! It is very fun and a challenging sport. You can learn a lot about discipline and to be strong and a good teammate. I might continue on in the future, I'm not sure yet, but I'd love to if I have an opportunity to, I started wrestling because I thought it would be fun and a challenge for me to overcome.
I don't have any idols really, I just think to myself to get better and be like my teammates, I used to practice everyday but with my medical condition I can’t practice anymore this season.” This is some great feedback from our following athlete Bean, giving us these statements and how she encourages us to join and try it out!
