In this episode, Lehigh standout Luke Stanich joins the show fresh off winning a best-of-three series to make his first U20 World Team. We talk about his rise from the New Jersey high school scene, overcoming an early deficit in the Trials finals, and how he's quickly adjusting to freestyle with minimal experience. Luke reflects on his freshman season at Lehigh, his decision to bump up to 141, and the value of his redshirt year. We also dive into the culture in the Lehigh room, his path through NJ states, and the keys to his successful transition to college wrestling — plus a few rapid-fire questions and transfer portal thoughts to close it out.1:10 - Winning Best of 3 Series3:30 - Minimal Freestyle Experience7:00 - Down 0-4 Against Zepeda9:10 - Growth Points10:30 - Freshman Season Takeaways12:00 - Going up to 14114:30 - Redshirt Season15:20 - Lehigh Vibes for Next Season17:30 - Growing up in Jersey19:30 - Breaking Through at NJ States24:30 - Successful Transition to College28:45 - Rapid Fire Q&A34:20 - Transfer PortalBe sure to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast.

We cover this weekend's biggest event, the U20 World Team Trials. There are some ridiculously loaded weight classes wrestling in Geneva, Ohio this weekend. So, tune in!

Send us a textDavid Norris might just be the most versatile endurance athlete you haven't heard enough about. The Alaskan-born mountain marathon record holder brings an Olympic-level Nordic skiing engine to the trails, creating a unique skill set that makes him a formidable competitor at the upcoming Sunapee Scramble World Team Trials.What stands out immediately about Norris is his refreshingly balanced approach to both life and sport. While maintaining a full-time banking career, he trains at an elite level, embracing not just running but also mountain biking and gravel cycling. "Just for pure joy and being outside, mountain biking and gravel riding is some of my favorite stuff to do in the summer," he explains, revealing how this multisport lifestyle stems from his cross-country skiing background where diverse training methods were the norm.The conversation explores how Norris's skiing career created the perfect foundation for mountain running success. Years of training to "redline" at high lactate thresholds before recovering and pushing again translates beautifully to the mountain classic format where athletes max out on climbs before recovering on descents. This explains his dominance at events like Mount Marathon and his competitive performances against specialized runners at races like Cirque Series Brighton.Perhaps most compelling is Norris's perspective on competition itself. After multiple heartbreaking near-misses as an Olympic alternate in skiing, he developed a profound understanding that "success comes from the pursuit of those goals, rather than just a true measurement of 'did I achieve these goals?'" This wisdom allows him to approach the World Team Trials with both serious preparation and genuine joy, focused on the process rather than putting pressure on specific outcomes.Whether you're a competitive athlete yourself or simply appreciate authentic approaches to sport, Norris offers valuable insights on balancing ambition with enjoyment, specialized training with multisport variety, and professional obligations with athletic excellence. Listen now to discover why this mountain marathon champion might be about to make a significant impact on the international trail running scene.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel have plenty to discuss, including a new position the Nittany Lions aim to fill plus a preview of a major event on the annual freestyle calendar. The duo starts this week's episode with talk about a job posting tied to head coach Cael Sanderson's program. It is looking for a NIL director. The new position on the leader of the Lions' staff will be tasked with various things. It includes helping with recruiting, providing "administrative support for NIL fundraising and educational efforts," building relationships with potential donors, tracking "all incoming NIL gifts, pledges, and donations from supporters of Penn State wrestling," and ensuring compliance rules are followed. Other responsibilities are sure to be a part of the job. You can watch this week's show in video player above and also on YouTube. Or, you can listen at your favorite destinations for audio like SPOTIFY and APPLE. Why does Penn State wrestling need an NIL director?

Scott Bregman joined the show to provide his insights, including his extra time with Simone. We create our lineups. We discuss who might get a bobble on our World Controversy tree next year. Jessica shares some of the conversations she had with the coaches and athletes. And of course, everything you couldn't see on the FlipNow live stream that happened in the gym    Here's how our event coverage works: 1. We give everyone the main headlines in the first 10-15 minutes. 2. We continue our conversation exclusively with our Club members. 3. What if I want to hear the rest of it and all the years of bonus content and interviews? All you have to do is Join the Club.

We start the podcast with me lamenting the NBA Lottery. Mostly though, Tommy and I discuss the Siena Heights hiring of Whitney Cox (Conder), and how great that is. We also get into some of the other changes in the college wrestling landscape. Mostly though, we talk about the WTT Trials and potential matchups, and some predictions as well. Rock On. The views and opinions expressed on this show are those of the individual hosts and not the network or sponsors of the Mat Talk Podcast Network. That being said, they curse a lot, too.
