I’m not saying she’s a great guard dog, but out of all the things she’s barked at, none have attacked me…

Three years of making sure I don’t get hurt by things like a vacuum. Happy adoption day to Poppy! 🎉 by @cdeluca37

Fun and successful summer of coaching many of the best girls from around Wisconsin!

In June, I coached the Wisconsin 14U National Duals team, where we placed 6th. I also got to be matside for the juniors during their runner-up finish and our 16U National Championship team! 🏆

Shout-out to some of the athletes I got to coach at Fargo:

- Kylee (All-American) and Jenson Kurszewski (No matter how much they and their parents ask, I'm not moving to coach Neenah 😂)
- Kimura Hutter (All-American)
- Kylie Kinserdahl, who wrestled four matches in just a couple of hours on day one!
- Evelyn Sears
- Erika Sleznikow

I also got to be in the corner for Madi Peach's national title match. The only disappointment of the week was not getting to watch Franky Groom compete more than one match because of an injury. 

There were plenty of other great Wisconsin athletes I had the chance to watch along the way as well.

And, of course, it's always fun coaching alongside friends, especially my UWO guys, Nazar and E. 

Wisconsin girls wrestling just keeps getting better and better! Proud to be a part of it and keep it going. 👏

What's it like coaching girls? Spoiler: It’s fantastic.

I get asked that question a lot. To keep it simple…It’s the best coaching decision I’ve ever made.

Girls listen better. They learn faster. They laugh more. Drilling and laughing can actually go hand-in-hand. 

They care deeply — about their teammates, their coaches, and the team bond itself. Relationships matter as much, if not more than the results.

I’ve worn a crown. My nails have been painted. I’ve shopped for fairy toys at Walmart. I get to hear all the tea. I’ve done Tik Tok dances (poorly). Girls truly “just wanna have fun.” 

Are there negatives? Sure. I can’t wear non-matching clothes to practice anymore without hearing about it. No-show socks? Completely off limits. It’s “low-key cringe” when I try using their wording. And apparently it’s weird to wear a t-shirt under a crew neck sweatshirt…which I completely disagree with!

Do they cry a lot? (Another common question for me). I wouldn’t say a lot, but yes, more than the boys — and that’s okay. Our wrestling room is a safe space to show emotions. Crying means they care. 

Girls wrestling is still pretty new. I get to see brand-new wrestlers fall in love with the sport. Watch them go from beginners to state placewinners.

Technique matters. Confidence matters. The choice between periods matter. (Always pick top, by the way 😉)

I’m not “going back to the boys.” This is the higher-level role I want.

If you ever get the chance - coach girls.

You’ll love it. ❤️

Coach Carl
