For the De La Rosas, fighting is the family business.
From the time she was old enough to crawl, Zaylyn De La Rosa was moving around wrestling and jiu-jitsu mats. Her mom, Montana, was a high school wrestler when Zaylyn came along. The challenges of raising a young daughter at the age of 15 are daunting enough, let alone doing so while maintaining an athletic career with as grueling a schedule as amateur wrestling.
Wrestlers are a different breed, not so much born as molded, like iron by fire. The most driven wrestlers wake up before dawn and run in any kind of weather.
