Episdoe 9: When you are hesitant about your daughter wrestling: Mirna Rahmani's wrestling story. Also featuring Coach Devin Tortorici and Peggy Diehl

This episode addresses common parental fears about girls wrestling and explores what happens when families say yes: interviews with a wrestling mom, a high school athlete, and a coach reveal how proper coaching, community support, and personal growth make the sport safe, empowering, and transformative. Listeners will hear practical safety practices, mental and physical benefits, and real advice for parents and girls curious about starting—plus encouragement to attend a practice or tournament to see wrestling firsthand. -------------------------------------- New episode every Wednesday (this is a plan)! ---------- We are a baby podcast with a huge mission, and we would love your help - share the success of Girls' wrestling in the State of Illinois.
