Women's wrestling has quietly become one of the fastest growing sports in America, with teams and tournaments growing at high schools and colleges.
In the Batres family, six of the seven kids play the sport. The only one who doesn't play is 10 months old.
Kayla Batres, 15, has her eyes set on the 2028 Olympics.
"Many little girls are too shy to start wresting because they don't have a role model," says Batres.
