Cael Sanderson Talks Nebraska vs. Penn State Wrestling, Why PSU is Consistent, Duke & Taylor Rematch

Описание: Penn State wrestling head coach Cael Sanderson met with the media ahead of the Bryce Jordan Center dual against Nebraska, previewing marquee matchups including PJ Duke vs. Antrell Taylor and Cole Mirasola vs. AJ Ferrari.

Sanderson discussed the team’s mindset and approach, saying “We don’t focus on opponents — just on being the best version of ourselves every match.” He praised his wrestlers’ composure, emphasized lessons from Shayne Van Ness’s explosive performance, and reflected on the new three-point takedown era: “You can make mistakes and come back — one score changes everything.”

He also spoke about faith, discipline, and how social media can distract young athletes: “Our vain imaginations — that’s been mankind’s distraction from the beginning.”

This press conference also features insight on Cael’s training philosophy, his daily wrestling routine, and how mat wrestling defines Penn State’s dominance.
