Wrestling is a great sport that teaches you way more than how to wrestle. It's the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, which makes everything else I've tried feel easy.
Glad to see it available to girls now so they can experience it too.
Thanks for the comment! It was so cool to hear how proud the coaches and wrestlers were of their craft and commitment to the team and sport. The future is bright!
Excellent job girls! Awesome job coaches!
We love the team mentality and how much heart the girls showed! What was your favorite part?
