Mark Hall wears "Cael knows Wrestling" shirt at States
- Thread starter Chickenman Testa
- Start date
Rumor, confirmed. Hall is going to be a blast to continue to follow through college.
The only thing better would have been Hall wearing a 2013 Minnesota National Champions T-Shirt...sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Looks like an awesome kid with a great family. I look forward to see him in blue and white.
Honestly, I had my doubts a few years back -- I'm not a big fan of all the moving and repeating grades in general. Feeling good now though. 
Sure. But, I bet most of the Iowa fans were really shocked. They admit that Cael can recruit, but only a few realize he can coach.
Now that's a post championship celebration, as opposed to Chad Red. I'm convinced Cael wants not only talent, but kids of high character.
Wow, he looked like Nolf in that match (Playing with his food).
One of the first questions he asked about MN guys, as he was scouting: "Would he be a good teammate with Hall? Is he a pretty good kid?"
I was a fan when I watched an interview of him a while ago. He is talented, articulate, humble and classy. He has it all!
It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Mark Hall the person as much as the wrestler. I have had many conversations with this young man and his dad at tournaments over the years. Very humble and just has an easy going, happy go lucky personality. You guys will love this young man and he will represent the program very well. I have no idea how successful he will end up being as far as national titles,etc., but I would bet the farm he is successful in life.
You can't help but draw that conclusion, after watching how Cael's wrestlers handle themselves.
Easy Ed, David Taylor, Quentin Wright, Frank Molinaro, Morgan McIntosh, Nico, Jason Nolf, Bo Nickal, Jordan Conaway... who when Cael was asked to describe his seniors, said at a recent post match interview... "He's the kind of kid you'd want dating your daughter". Humble, directed, easy going, intelligent, very focused athletes who you'd want in your family also.
Quentin Wright spent 20 minutes chatting me up at an awards banquet as I wore his National Championship ring... at his insistence. Smiling the entire 20 minute conversation and I couldn't thank him enough as he thanked me... for the conversation. Frank Molinaro telling me of his plans post college after he had won a National title that meant so much to him. Sharing his future so openly with the biggest of smiles on his face.
Mark Hall was genuinely kissed and deeply embraced by the entire contingent of his family and friends that were in the arena to watch his excellence. The young man in the black cap. How much did it mean to him?? His words spoken into Mark's ear... still resonating in mine. What a feel good feeling with each warm embrace.
Cael helps create world class kids and it certainly is the type of humble kid that Cael wants on his team. It resonates through Cael's entire line up. The concept of we are all one. Family that wins on the mat together also plays dodge ball together. Win or lose on the dodge ball court... they are all one... off of it.
When you have your superstar, Jason Nolf stating he's just grateful for what he has. And you hear those words echoed from Cael in interviews... the buy-in isn't so hard to see... and witness, year after year. The level of success on and off the mat from Penn State wrestlers coincides with the teachings of it's leader.
How many champions at LIFE also?

Fortunately he didn't need to drag a security guard up the steps, as was the case last year at the PIAA tournament with Cole Walter
For those who don't remember, watch the video at the 9:30 mark:

You've made some great posts and this one is at or near the top!
Truth be known : CAEL SANDERSON IS SIMPLY UNREAL. THE GREATEST PERSON I HAVE EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. HE WALKS THE WALK AND SO DOES HIS WRESTLERS !Easy Ed, David Taylor, Quentin Wright, Frank Molinaro, Morgan McIntosh, Nico, Jason Nolf, Bo Nickal, Jordan Conaway... who when Cael was asked to describe his seniors, said at a recent post match interview...

I don't think Spyker is capable of calming down
Don't forget. Cael is a shameless recruiter!Sure. But, I bet most of the Iowa fans were really shocked. They admit that Cael can recruit, but only a few realize he can coach.
Not yelling at all but those who know him, Wow the guy is simply unreal. Makes wrestlers and fans love the sport and is great Coaching up our guys in big matches. His teaching tactics on positive reinforcement is outstanding.We get it.....no reason to yell.
Congrats you got a great person in Mark Hall don't know in the rest of my life time ever see again a kid this good in high school and with the attitude he has. Have to give his parents the credit for rasing such a fine young man and being able to afford to take him all over to wrestle. MY gosh he has been doing this for over 15 years. Don't know what coach Cal or any coach can do or teach this young man just more or less guide him I guess. He will go down as one of the best in college history if no injuries or sickness. Wish him the best.
I know that positive reinforcement is at the core of Cael's beliefs of being successful. I raise my son with the same never ending positive reinforcement and it has paid off with incredible dividends. I see Cael as a person I'd want raising my own student athlete (young adult) and I can see why parent's entrust their young men with him.
Trust me or just ask Bo. He will learn a lot in our room. Hate to say it but he will be taking his lumps next year. After that look out !
