There are a few girls on my team (by that I mean a ratio of 17:1 boys to girls) but what really bugs me is that, as I found in football, most of them are just there because their boyfriend/crush is. It irks me because the way it’s set up, girls can only wrestle girls, but most of the other girls don’t even enjoy it that much – they just like to see their boyfriends show off. At least my school lets girls wrestle though.

Great stuff! Love it. Yahoo trying to put women’s wrestling related stuff into the adult section is nothing new unfortunately…

Try my Yahoo group–lots of stuff about (real)
female wrestlers.
Yahoo keeps trying to put this in the Adult section–bizarre. Please ignore that.

Here is a book that I read about a girl who joins an all-boys wrestling team: http://www.amazon.com/Theres-Girl-Hammerlock-Jerry-Spinelli/dp/1416939377/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262035062&sr=1-1#noop

It’s called “There’s a Girl in my Hammerlock” by Jerry Spinelli. It’s not a very high reading level, but it is an amusing book and a quick read with some inspiring moments.

By the way, LOVE the t-shirts! I hope I can get one next year when I join the team!

I’m currently a manager for our high school wrestling team, and I’m planning on joining the team next year. I’ll be a junior, and I have no wrestling experience, but I’m willing to work hard at it and join summer camps. I already run and stretch with them and I hope to expand my practices until I can do everything they can.
Here is a great story that I read: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/17/nyregion/17wrestle.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1
