About this listen

What does a wrestling off-season really look like? Hint: it's not about rest—it's about grit, chaos, and choices only wrestling parents understand.

In this episode of Mat Moms, we pull back the curtain on the wildest parts of wrestling's off-season. From weight swings and tournament confusion to elite training commitments, it's a season of sacrifice and strategy.

We dive into:

  • Why a broken nose might mean "suck it up and wrestle for two more years" (straight from a nose surgeon who wrestled)
  • The grind of West Coast Wrestling Camps in Carlsbad, where kids train with UFC legend Mark Muñoz for 10 days of non-stop work.
  • The unwritten rules every parent learns (never talk to your kid after a loss!)
  • What it takes to fuel wrestlers, survive all-day tournaments, and build a wrestling family that lasts for years.

Whether you're a new mat-side mom or a seasoned tournament warrior, this episode is packed with real talk, insider tips, and the unfiltered truth about wrestling life when the season "ends."

🎧 Listen now and get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink what "off-season" really means.
