Episode 26: Wrestling Gear 101 - Must-Haves, Money-Saving Hacks & Tournament Kit

We are working on a few more episodes this season and will go on vacation sometime in July. See you in October for the Second season of the Illinois Girls Wrestling Podcast!

In this episode we break down exactly what girls need (and don’t) for wrestling: a simple three-bucket system of must-haves, helpful items, and optional extras so families avoid overspending or last-minute panic.

Learn what to ask your coach, how to build a packed tournament kit, shoe and uniform tips, where to splurge versus save, common mistakes to avoid, and real-life insights from wrestler Justice Gerard.

Short, practical, and season-ready: buy what fits, test it at practice, keep a hygiene kit, and upgrade over time.
