for whatever reason, you can't get yourself to go with that feeling. every time that you don't go with it, you're pretty much lying to yourself. that probably made no sense. travis: remember your first varsity match? i was--i was so nervous, i felt sick. [chules] in the middle of the mat and all these blurry faces around you are yelling, but you can't hear a thing. but once that whistle blew and the match started, everything was ok. it was just wrestling. the fear of the unknown, it just holds you back.

diego: it really is beautiful. boy: travis, oh. yo, what the... travis: what are you doing? diego: travis, wait. travis: get away from me, man. get off. stay away from me.
