LadySports ::: Why I Wrestle

I'm often asked just why I became a wrestler, and I thought I would share my answer with the fans here at LadySports.

There is actually a really good reason why I wrestle, but it might not be the obvious answer you are expecting.

I really want to be an inspiration to young women who watch wrestling. The young fans who come to the arenas are important to me.

When I look back at the long hours of training, sweat, sore muscles, pain, and the trainers who pushed me, I see the little girl who fell in love with competition and never looked back.

That is who I see when I look at these young ladies. This is who I do it for.

Take a look at some of the photos I'm including here. See the one where I'm with the two girls? This is one of my favorites. They are two of my biggest supporters. They are always thrilled to be in the front row when I wrestle, and they are not afraid to tell my opponents what they think! I have been invited to both of their birthday parties, and one of the parties is even going to be Mary Elizabeth themed!

This is why I wrestle. To inspire the young women of the future.

(And by the way, you're also getting a peek at my new wrestling gear!)
