Last night was so impressive I felt the need to write down some of the things I have learned from this amazing program.
From the DT Ruth era onwards Cael inc has let their wrestler's conduct on the mat be their message. I think this more than anything is why Cael hates interviews because they are redundant. After his team has given the world another clinic on what the state of the art is in terms of high level wrestling non elite wrestlers asking him generic questions diminishes what has just happened on the mat. As far as what just happened here are a few of the things I have learned so far from PSU wrestling.
1) Always improve in all three positions throughout your career. Last night the "outside step" TD that DT talked about seemed like the new move high school kids will be doing in 2026. Top wrestling had improved across the board (Carter gets MVP in this position 🔥). Bottom wrestling MVP goes to Kerk aka the HAMMER!
2) Find a way to never tire. I don't know how they do it but you got to admit this super power has won us a lot of important matches. Nick Lee MVP here.
3) Meet every moment of every match with the same mindset. Our concentration is just as impressive as our gas tank. I love all of the older dudes but Carter gets the MVP here.
4) Always believe you can win. Bo over Gabe Dean 🔥. VJ over Martinez🤯. Nolf winning with a completely busted knee 😲. RBY over Fix in 2021. Etc.
5) Train to be the person who can accomplish you goals. A paraphrase from an interview with Anthony Cassar after his title run that has changed my life 🙏🏾
