Top Wrestling Questions Answered + Viola Pianetto's Zero to State Finalist (Elmhurst University)

In this episode the hosts answer common parent questions about girls starting wrestling—what equipment is needed, safety concerns, how to find a club, what practices and tournaments look like, and how parents can best support their athletes.

Then they interview Viola Pianetto, a 2025 state finalist and current college freshman, who shares her rapid rise from starting in junior year to competing in college, her training routine, recruiting and decommitting experience, and tips for girls who want to wrestle in college.

Our guest is Viola Pianetto: 2025 IHSA State finalist, IHSA 2x state qualifier, 2x Fargo qualifier, 2025 Illinois Indiana dual team
