A young wrestler faces more than just opponents on the mat-he's fighting guilt, identity, and the shadow of a brother who once had it all.
Andy Rivera's specialty? Doing the bare minimum-and sabotaging his older brother Xavier's spotlight whenever he can. But when Xavier suffers a catastrophic football injury during their high school's homecoming game, Andy's world flips. What starts as a joke becomes a mission: to redeem himself in the only place left to prove his worth-the wrestling room.
Thrown headfirst into the grit and grind of middle school wrestling, Andy is suddenly forced to confront the one thing he's never handled well: pressure. Every practice tests his discipline. Every match reveals his flaws. And every interaction with his teammates-especially his hot-headed rival Derek-shows how far he still has to go to become someone others can trust.
But guilt doesn't pin you down forever. Determination can flip the score.
In a sport where every second counts and every choice matters, Andy's journey from reckless kid to focused competitor is anything but easy-and that's what makes it real.
Whether you're a student-athlete trying to find your place, a parent watching your child navigate intense competition, or a coach searching for a story that captures what youth wrestling is really about, Major Decision delivers an unfiltered, emotionally honest look at what happens when a boy stops running from consequences and starts wrestling with who he wants to be.
