My name is Tatum Levendahl and I am from Saint Joseph, Missouri. I am a freshman at the University of Dubuque and a member of the women’s wrestling team. Throughout my life, I have been involved in many sports such as softball, tennis, track and field, competitive dance, and wrestling. All of these have individually taught me lessons that I still carry with me to this day.
The sport of wrestling is extremely tough, but I have found that it has taught me true resilience, dedication, and hard work. To perform my best physically, I have learned to maintain myself emotionally. Wrestling can be frustrating at times, and it takes an open and willing mindset to grow from your mistakes. This lesson has not only helped me become a better wrestler, but also a better person in the other aspects of my life.
