I never knew anything about Cael until both my boys started wrestling. Then I read about what he had accomplished and I was truly blown away, granted my boys started much later in the sport and didn't have the added benefit of a coaching dad (I never wrestled since there wasn't a program wherever I attended school), but still his achievements in the sport are truly remarkable. . I think its basically the perfect storm of ability, drive, coaching, a strong support system etc. that gave the world Cael Sanderson. It might arguably be the greatest achievement in any sport in history.
True, having a dad coach and 2 older brothers. He also started officially at 9 years old. Most kids who start later and do not have a coaching dad will be behind a Cael Sanderson type. Best of luck to your boys though.
Penn State has won 8 of the last 9 championships, that’s unbelievable...it’s more unbelievable that top NCAA wrestling schools have dozens of championships whilst Penn State had only 1 prior. The greatest wrestler is quickly becoming one of the greatest coaches...that man is on his own level
Sanderson is obviously an individual of incredible material. People like him certainly need to be studied in order to hopefully share and teach his traits to other individuals. Sometimes however you just have to take in the total and complete being because they warrant a holistic in the attempt to understand.
That was a really great interview as well. Kudos to that interviewer on well-thought-out questions, the presentation and timing. She asked the right questions and then got out of the way. Well done.
With current coaches, Cael Sanderson is to collegiate wrestling what Nick Saban is to college football. Both are great recruiters who see potential and know how to develop their athletes. Both have excellent programs.
Thank you Cael! You and your brothers have always been an inspiration. Your wrestlers and most former wrestlers in general make a tremendous positive impact in our communities and in our country. Wrestling is a sport and a way of life that elevates and endless enriches everyone that identifies and is involved with it. It can make you a better, stronger person in so many ways.
Going for #11 of past 13 in 2024! Buckeyes are building nice team right now mostly with PA kids. Starocci and Brooks in the hunt for 4th individual Championship 🏆🏆🏆🏆
cael my name is George and I'm 39 I'm 5'5'' and almost 300 lbs. do I have a chance to become a wrestler for you I love education I just need to a scholarship because I'm poor I consider myself an ok fighter as I've done some fighting with my brothers for fun
Dynasty complete now Cael! But here comes Iowa! Can’t wait for March! Bring more DI Programs back ASAP; it’s been long enough since Title IX and many of the SEC & ACC could begin adding back their DI lost back in the 90s! They have plenty of money, such as Clemson(who should have no problem with their Olympians they’ve had prior; plus Football/IPTAY Money, Facilities, & if NC State/UNC/Duke/App St/Citadel/Etc can...Clemson can too), Auburn, Alabama, UGA, It’s time! Bring more DI Wrestling back ASAP!! #MakeCollegiateWrestlingGreatAgain
Listening 12 years later. 10 team titles since. Wow.
Ya, it's absolutely phenomenal whats going on in State College
Reporter did a great job asking good questions
I love listening to Cael Sanderson, When the Master speaks, I listened intently.

Wow, to listen to this 8 years later is really powerful. Plan your work, work your plan.
Try 12 years later…
😊 13:55 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊p0@@coolasice7493
No matter if he's asked good questions or really dumb questions, he always answers them sincerely and respectfully..complete class act..
Reading this days after he showed up that reporter who asked a bad question 😭
He's so humble. He won EVERY high school match AND EVERY college match.....that's absurd!!!! N
He lost in high school. Record of 127-3 4x state champion
Karelin is the greatest Greco Roman wrestler of all time but not freestyle.
Drew A Rockwell he took steroids! Look at him and where he’s from. Anyone can figure that out.
GOAT
@@terryschake8152 so you're saying if I take steroids in can go 887-2 in Greco??????
Penn State has won 8 of the last 9 championships, that’s unbelievable...it’s more unbelievable that top NCAA wrestling schools have dozens of championships whilst Penn State had only 1 prior. The greatest wrestler is quickly becoming one of the greatest coaches...that man is on his own level
The man is a machine.
One of the best coaching hires in NCAA history... period.
Just got my 4 year old into wrestling and we’ve been watching a lot of Cael Sanderson videos! My son thinks he’s Superman, so do I lol.
Greatest collegiate wrestler of all time! Great guy to look up to as a person and competitor!

"You worry about fighting....let me worry about the results" most underrated coach quote ever
Agreed! It's called accountability.
How can anybody dislike him?
ALL HATERS!!!!
I can spell it in four letters, and three of them are vowels.
@@mikemcq10 are you sure they are vowels?
Just amazing...the John Wooden of Wrestling...it is amazing seeing him lay out his plan here and then to see now how it has been executed...
+Ryan Shaffer Awesome coach and competitor. But Wooden was the Dan Gable of basketball!! lol
With current coaches, Cael Sanderson is to collegiate wrestling what Nick Saban is to college football. Both are great recruiters who see potential and know how to develop their athletes. Both have excellent programs.
Cael is a beast. easily the greatest NCAA athlete of all time. Proof is in the numbers y’all....And can we talk about his jaw 😍
At 0:28 listen how eludes to creating a dynasty. This interview is from 2009, and now PSU is well on their way to creating a dynasty.
Joe Dirte 4 years later the dynasty is going strong
7 of the last 8 national titles as a team. I’d say we can call it a dynasty now.
@@damonficken3457 and the ball keeps rolling.
Amazing!! He is great for the sport of wrestling.
I remember wrestling there every Wednesday and Sunday for NLWC great memories I was lucky to have some amazing coaches
Went to camp at ISU in 2000, he is a great dude. The whole ISU wrestling program is top notch 👌. Bobby Douglas taught my friend to swim. Lol
Cael is not only the 🐐 he owns the Farm ! 💪 💪
Mission Accomplished.... He has and continues to create a DYNASTY
Excellent interview. Great questions.
What a professional interview
Ms. Goodman asked great questions.
I love his response to the having a target on his bike. It just shows how his mentality was...he wasn't a target, they were in his way.
Watching after 2024 NCAA Championships. Cael Sanderson is the greatest wrestling coach this world has ever seen.
This guy has the charisma of a rock.
I guess rocks are really charismatic?
app - and you are dumb like a rock.
Who cares, he’s a wrestler
Effort and intensity
Thank you Cael! You and your brothers have always been an inspiration.
Your wrestlers and most former wrestlers in general make a tremendous positive impact in our communities and in our country. Wrestling is a sport and a way of life that elevates and endless enriches everyone that identifies and is involved with it. It can make you a better, stronger person in so many ways.
Best dang college wrestler
Everything he said that he'd like to accomplish has come true...and then some...wow!
Going for #11 of past 13 in 2024! Buckeyes are building nice team right now mostly with PA kids. Starocci and Brooks in the hunt for 4th individual Championship 🏆🏆🏆🏆
I like Carl ...really see. his character ...awesome..
Best coach in college regardless of sport
Cael could tell me how disappointed he is in me and I still wouldn't hate him lol
Damn...he's clairvoyant too...he correctly predicted that he could build a dynasty.
Was anything mentioned about Bobby Douglas? Did I miss it.
1:35- "I just hate losing"
LOL how do you know this, if you've never tried it before??
Lol
Wrestled like a (Praying Mantis) Unrelentless ! Gudjob Cael , My Hero 👍
Legend
You know people have been jacked up against that pillar during live lol
Cael has got the most appropriate looking facial structure for his sport. Thats one chiseled beef chin on that guy.
Everything about his demeanor says calm cool collected super stud. He’s got nothing to prove to anyone and he carries himself exactly like that
He was a pretty decent wrestler back in the day..
What a monster. Wish he coached the Hoosiers....
a cool customer
man cael is cold blooded
GOAT.
Cael, can you talk about how you believe in Jospeh Smith? Because that part of your story is nuts.
Jesse do you believe in Joseph Smith?
Tell us what you believe Jesse
I hope thats not true
kalub shaw yep it’s true and not liking the truth doesn’t change the truth
kalub shaw maybe you should wrestle him over it😂
Title IX is why he had to leave Iowa St and go to Penn St. to win a national championship.
How so?
scottab140 to llol
Wonder what he would have done in mma 🤔
cael my name is George and I'm 39 I'm 5'5'' and almost 300 lbs. do I have a chance to become a wrestler for you I love education I just need to a scholarship because I'm poor I consider myself an ok fighter as I've done some fighting with my brothers for fun
Bulk up to 350 LB and you can be Penn State's Super Heavyweight. Lots of Big Macs and Crispy Creme donuts, and you'll make it.
No you're toast
Randy Savage was damn good too.
Each thumbs down was by someone He pinned
Woulda been cool if he picked up striking and had gone into mma for a few fights
Cael got a jaw for days
Manliest chin I’ve ever seen
How did he get a chin like that
@@UnknownSouls Ikea.
He’s got a chin you could set your watch to
Didn't I see him pouring drinks with Sam Malone?
dude looks like matt damon
More like Channing Tatum, who would be a perfect fit since he already played that wrestler, Mark Schultz in the movie Foxcatcher.
This interview is aging very well
Dynasty complete now Cael! But here comes Iowa! Can’t wait for March! Bring more DI Programs back ASAP; it’s been long enough since Title IX and many of the SEC & ACC could begin adding back their DI lost back in the 90s! They have plenty of money, such as Clemson(who should have no problem with their Olympians they’ve had prior; plus Football/IPTAY Money, Facilities, & if NC State/UNC/Duke/App St/Citadel/Etc can...Clemson can too), Auburn, Alabama, UGA, It’s time! Bring more DI Wrestling back ASAP!! #MakeCollegiateWrestlingGreatAgain
@Cambo710
at least he doesn't need Q-TIPS..lol
adudeuknow I am sure your family shares a brain. This is not your week.
All Russian wrestlers would go undefeated in the ncaa today. Did this guy win anything after college? Except for a bad haircut.
Just olympic gold...
how would all the russian wrestlers go undefeated if all the russian wrestlers had to wrestle each other but remain undefeated?
He's an Olympic champion and he's won silver at worlds the year before soo yes
Only the Olympics dope
PSU won the NCAA nationals in 1954, not 1952 as the bimbo said.
DeWayne Begay actually it was 1951
it was 1455 I was there ! 😆
