Transition Wrestling is "Badass"

"You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness." - Brene Brown.

Gabrielle Lord-Klein took on a big adventure because she saw a big need.  She also had a very big burden.  As a former college athlete and women's wrestling coach, she saw a growth opportunity for the advancement of women's wrestling: the media.  Like many, she was frustrated by the lack of coverage.  Instead of begging other media outlets to do more for women, she owned her story and started a website.  Now, she reports on the most up-to-date women's college wrestling stories and has quickly become the go-to resource for breaking news.

You can find Transition Wrestling on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and everywhere else you'd expect to see women's wrestling news.

Coaching changes and new programs have been the most relevant stories on Transition Wrestling until this week when she broke the news that the NCAA women's wrestling programs will have an opportunity to compete at an exclusive championship event.

Through Transition Wrestling, Gabby is moving the needle in the women's wrestling scene and this most recent article could very well put her into an entirely new realm of women's wrestling coverage.  A media outlet like this is exactly what women's college wrestling has been starving for - someone from the trenches investigating and representing thousands of female wrestlers.

Transition Wrestling is raw and real.  It's a passionate and powerful female stepping up and doing what no one else is doing.  And she's doing it on her own.  Her vulnerability magnifies her impact.  She's not a traditional journalist.  There's no man introducing her.  She not piggy backing off someone else's platform.  She knows who she is and where she's from and is jumping into unfamiliar territory in order to give others hope and a voice that can be heard.

Brene Brown also said, "when I see people stand fully in their truth, or when I see someone fall down, get back up and say, 'Damn.  That really hurt, but this is important to me and I'm going in again' - my gut reaction is, 'What a badass.'"  That pretty much sums up Gabby.
