Episode 1: Growing Wrestling in Illinois or Why Do We Need This Podcast?
In episode 1, hosts Lena and Alex introduce a podcast dedicated to empowering, informing, and celebrating the growing community of girls wrestling in Illinois. As wrestling parents, they share their experiences and explain why this show exists: to help new families navigate the sport and build community.
This episode covers the essentials — the difference between folkstyle and freestyle, must-have gear, tournaments and brackets, local regulations, and how to find support and resources specific to Illinois. Listeners will hear stories from athletes and learn practical tips for getting started.
