Jersey Wrestling Welcomes Wrestle Dad as Silver Partner 🥈
https://www.jerseywrestling.com/news.php?story=Jersey%20Wrestling%20Welcomes%20Wrestle%20Dad%20as%20Silver%20Partner
Jersey Wrestling is proud to officially welcome Wrestle Dad, a new novel by Scott Laterra, as a Silver Partner 🤝
Set inside the world of New Jersey wrestling, Wrestle Dad follows a father and son on their final road trip together to the New Jersey State Wrestling Championships at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The book will be released November 27, 2026, in paperback and on Kindle.
About Wrestle Dad
They call him "Notebook Jimmy," or "Jimmy With the Notebook," on account of the fact that he carries the green spiral wherever he goes: dual meets, summer tournaments, club practices. Jimmy is one of the fanatics. He has spent years as a wrestling dad, measuring life in long car rides, crowded gyms, and weekends that start before sunrise and end long after the final whistle.
As Jimmy and his son Brady take their final road trip to Atlantic City for the New Jersey State Wrestling Championships at Boardwalk Hall, everything feels different. Every match carries the weight of something bigger. Not just wins and losses-but endings. Of seasons. Of routines. Of a version of fatherhood that had long defined him.
Wrestle Dad is a humorous, touching story about obsession, identity, and the quiet heartbreak of loving something you can't hold onto forever. It is a love letter to the New Jersey wrestling community, capturing the beauty of the bond between father and son, and the unforgettable cast of characters that only the wrestling world could produce.
Wrestle Dad will be released November 27, 2026, in paperback and on Kindle. Kindle pre-orders are available now, with paperback pre-orders coming soon.

About Scott Laterra
Scott Laterra is a writer, attorney, and wrestle dad from Northern New Jersey. He grew up in a wrestling family, and returned to his roots when he became a wrestle dad to two wrestlers. Drawing from years spent inside the culture of high school wrestling as a participant, a fan and then as a father, his writing captures the highs and lows of competition, the parent-child bond that forms through a shared love for the sport, and the greatest sport in the world.
Partnership with Jersey Wrestling
The partnership between Jersey Wrestling and Wrestle Dad is a natural fit. Both are rooted in the people, traditions, and stories that make New Jersey wrestling special.
