Vision Rated

A Story by Abishai100

Narrated portrait of the quality of (public high school) coaching for wrestling requiring a special 'light' for all that's simplified drama.

A wrestling abcd inspired by the very engaging American youth wrestling 'examination' Romanticism movie Vision Quest (Harold Becker). Thanks for reading,

I'm Amlan Satan, and I'm a devoted high-school wrestling coach working on a great season for my public school team's interest in reaching it all the way to the State finals to finally be the school/team to usurp our cross-town rival school who'd become wrestling state icons and ironically also our debate-team rivals for a long time. This was my contribution to the Selfie-age of life-drawn competition 'cleats' for what's simply leviathan (for the Ego).

Well, our school had become a great hallmark in the debate arena for intellectualism, but it fell-short in our cross-town school/team rivalry in the universe of wrestling, that gripping, body-mat floor agility resilience exercise of incomplete-lines readings to the flying colors of strength and physique controls for leviathan (sure).

TEAM ATHLETE: Coach, I was thinking of confiding in you (now).

ME: What's the deal, young man...you seem confident in our days!

TEAM ATHLETE: I may use some performance-enhancing material for the rivalry.

ME: That's not a requirement, young dude (you know it).

TEAM ATHLETE: Well, it's a Homeland-Jersey 'thing' for the books, you know?

ME: Nah, I don't know, young man...we don't need trophies more than guts.

TEAM ATHLETE: You'd frown upon it, eh?

ME: Well, let's just say I'd rather see you train in the brains...with stories!

TEAM ATHLETE: Ha, I somehow predicted such 'cinema' color in you, Coach.

ME: Thanx.

It's a touch world and tough universe, and it requires incomplete-lines reading for that magic 'link' between fitness and intelligence! That's why I like being a high-school wrestling coach, and I'm carrying the spirits of my young men (athletes!) to get to that State-finals level glory mindfulness, to compete as 'beautifully' as we do in the intellectual dominion (debate-team). I've knots to think about, and that includes the mental health of my athletes, and we can't lose.
