The mission of the Iowa Women’s Wrestling Club is to provide the coaching, training environment, and financial support necessary for female athletes to compete for and win Olympic and world championships after completing their collegiate careers. Many current student-athletes are driven to win college national titles, but also to represent Team USA at the top of the podium on an international stage. IWWC will provide these women the opportunity to focus on their training and travel to national and international competitions. In the process, they will learn more about themselves and become prepared for their future after they are done competing.
