Francesca Zappitelli
How and when did you get started wrestling?
I STARTED WHEN I WAS 16. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DOJO AND TOLD THEM I
WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO FIGHT. I WAS THE ONLY GIRL THERE.
What got you interested in it?
I WAS ALWAYS A TOMBOY GROWING UP WITH LOTS OF BROTHERS ON A FARM. AS I
GREW UP I TRAVELLED A LOT AND DIDN'T WANT TO BE AFRAID. NO WOMEN SHOULD
WALK THE STREETS WITH FEAR, AFTER BEING ATTACKED I REALIZED I NEEDED TO
LEARN HOW TO DEFEND MYSELF.
HIow long have you been wrestling?
TEN YEARS
I notice you like to change your hair a lot. :) Any comments about that?
I AM THE MADONNA OF WRESTLING :) CHANGE IS THE ONE CONSTANT THING
IN LIFE, I EMBRACE THIS.
What do you do to keep in shape?
WEIGHT TRAINING 4X WEEK, CARDIO 6X WEEK, MMA TRAINING 2X WEEK, HIKING,
DANCING, GOLFING, YOGA. I LOVE BEING ACTIVE.
How do you hook up with other fighters to set up fights? Do you have an
agent do it?
IT'S LIKE A SORORITY, A LITTLE NETWORK OF FIGHTERS. THE OTHER
GIRLS ARE GREAT, WE KEEP EACH OTHER INFORMED AND LOOK OUT FOR EACH
OTHER TO KEEP THE SPORT GROWING. DIFFERENT COACHES I HAVE TRAINED WITH
HAVE STEERED ME TOWARDS OPPORTUNITIES AND GUIDED ME IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
What advice would you give other women trying to break out in this
arena?
I WOULD ADVICE OTHER WOMEN TO TRAIN HARD, DEVELOP A LOOK AND A
SKILL SET THAT SUITS THEIR PERSONALITY AND PHYSICAL ABILITY. KEEP YOUR
EYES ON THE PRIZE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Some people might say what you do does not make you a real warrior
woman, what do you say to that?
I THINK ALL WOMEN ARE WARRIOR WOMEN IF WE CONNECT TO OUR REAL SELF. I
PERFORM IN BOTH COMPETITIVE WRESTLING AND CHOREOGRAPHED STUNT FIGHTING.
EVEN WHEN FIGHTS ARE CHOREOGRAPHED THEY STILL REQUIRE PHYSICAL
DEXTERITY, COORDINATION AND ARE TAXING ON THE BODY. THAT'S WHY
MEDITATION AND GOOD NUTRITION ARE IMPORTANT TOP KEEP THE MIND AND BODY
STRONG!
