Love to see one of our SWV middle school girls getting a shout out from the Iowa Girls Wrestling Podcast before Iowa AAU Girls State next week! 💪

There are 14 girls from SWV/Lenox/Bedford signed up for this AAU State tournament. Good luck girls. We're all in your corner!

🔥 STATE WEEK IS HERE 🔥

As State draws closer… we know what starts creeping in.

The nerves.
The doubt.
The “what ifs.”

That little voice that tries to tell you you’re not ready.

But listen closely girls — that voice is wrong.

You are stronger than you think.
You are tougher than you realize.
And remember this — your mind will break long before your body ever will.

So when you step up to that line… when it’s time to shake hands… remember who you are.

Take a deep breath.
Let the doubt go.
Let the nerves go.

Then go do what you were built to do.

💥 SHOOT FIRST
💥 SCORE POINTS
💥 ALWAYS ATTACK
💥 EMPTY THE TANK

No regrets. No hesitation. Just wrestling.

And listen — we are proud of every single one of you. ❤️

Whether you climb to the top…
Whether you make it to Day 2…
Whether you battled a hammer and lasted longer than ever before…

YOU EARNED THIS.

You belong here. Every single one of you.

This is not luck.
This is not chance.

This is hard work paying off.

And we gotta give a special shoutout to one girl we’ve been watching all season…

🔥 Gaunt 🔥

Kid — the growth has been REAL.

We’ve seen the grind.
We’ve seen the work.
We’ve seen the confidence building match by match.

You don’t need reminders… but we’re giving you one anyway —

You got this.

Trust your training.
Trust your gas tank.
Trust your fight.

Go out there and wrestle like the girl we’ve watched becoming a problem all season. 😤

We can’t wait to see all of you out there doing big things this weekend.

Go make noise.
Go make memories.
Go make yourselves proud.

State is earned… and you earned it. 👑🔥

From the Podcast Fam — We see you. We’re proud of you. And most importantly… WE BELIEVE IN YOU. Always believe. Always attack. Always SHOOT FIRST. Keep doing big dawg things.
