Wrestle, Rest, Drop Weight, Wrestle, Repeat

There's been quite a few duals and tournaments this month that we've gone to support Olivia in. It's been neat to have other family members come when they can as well. 

This girl gets so tuckered out during this time of year. She puts in her all for wrestling practices. She just fell asleep on the floor and Koda curled up next to her. 

She's definitely improved from last year. It's only her second season wrestling and you can clearly see she's able to incorporate moves she's learned. The last few weeks she's had several tournaments she's wrestled in. She's lost some and won some. 

She got a couple pins in Kennewick at the Lioness Tournament!

Getting a hit to the head that's caused her to get black eyes...on more than one occasion. The shadow makes it harder to see but it's there. 

It just progressively got worse each day!

Every time she would come and talk to me I couldn't help but give a sad/sorry face every time I looked at her. lol

Getting a couple pins at Royal!

She got two pins in a row at the Pasco Best of the West and made it to wrestle on day two!

Another black eye. So many bruises and mat burns and other aches and pains. But she loves it. 

Look at that take down. Literally just flipped that girl over. 

Another pin at the Hanford Winter Cup.

Her preferred coach wasn't able to be there with her but Jaime's cousin Ruben was so he went through some video with Olivia and showed her what to look out for in her opponent on her next match. It was a big help and she was able to pin her opponent. Big thank you to Ruben for giving his coaching expertise. 

Placing 2nd at the Winter Cup. She was close to getting 1st and knows what her mistake was, which tells me how much she has learned. Seeing her smiling at the end of a long day makes me happy that she's happy.
