 National champ Drew Foster rolled up on us in the parking lot a little heavy he almost got clapped up like back in Atlanta he didn't know he was rolling up on just testing out he's just testing our gangster he got he got we ran we bum rushed the car how cool is it to see your name on that wall it was pretty sweet I mean one day come in and I don't think I was the one to notice it I think someone pointed out and I'm just like no kid it's like one of those things you you come in when you first start out it's fresh when you look up you see Tony Davis's name every day that's the one that sticks out because there's all that gap between it and now hopefully that's motivation to these guys and confidence too yeah we had a mr. Schneider come in and talk to the guys before and he looked at you and he said thank you to foster we needed that we needed that national champion you know it's not like it's not a shortage of talk and training and living in here with it with the coaching staff but but talk about the difference you've seen because you're still wrestling you're still in the room today talk about the difference you've seen from last year to this year and the impact you found I think most of those guys believe in themselves right because you're rubbing shoulders with guys constantly I mean lu Han freaking Steyer whole slob yeah sometimes the guys I went with all throughout last year all through the years right I just say I want every single go ever would be ridiculous right I've got my come in get my butt kicked a lot all right so these guys know all right he did it we can do it free I was not I wasn't the best guy on the team by any means all right we got guys a lot better that are on the team right now and I think they they especially the guys that I was able to roll around with and I'm still able to roll around with they especially know that they can win a national title I was talking with Cruz not even a couple weeks ago and we're talking about you know how many guys are staying later and later it's fifth and six years and I'm just like to me it doesn't seem like these fifth-year seniors are having the best seniors of the career I was like what was the last guy that had a fifth-year senior that had the career of his lifetime he was like we're just so undang it so I've got a duck on myself but seeing you celebrate I mean a dog and a roper and be raw but seeing you celebrate with Randy Q and just seeing the connection you guys have had over the years what does that guy mean to you not only as a wrestling coach but mean to you as a mentor I mean the world I mean I owe that guy so much credit to this day he's helping me out all right not only as a wrestler he kept it simple for me but just life in general right so teaching me to stay consistent over time I mean he started getting us together a group of like five or six of us last year getting coffee talking mindset stuff like that like little tiny things little tiny details that you know or behind the scenes that no one else sees you see the product out there I owe him a lot he's he's the one that was nudging nudging Schwab to get me here initially and freaking the rest of this history so you have an amazing story book for him like couldn't have wrote it up any crazier I knew as a fan I'm biased but I knew I knew when you had the finals I was like yeah he's got this transitioning to freestyle making that jump how much have you done before and focused on it as a as a true style and how much it was just a supplement to make you better folk style and what do you wear you out right now so I think my last freestyle match was my junior high school and then the next match I had with David Taylor so and you won that one beat the world champ no that was unfortunate I didn't didn't want that to happen at all I just wanted to go out there and scrap and kind of you know see where I was at you know and you want to go out and scrap with the best of the guys so now I mean I'm strictly training first semester I was doing some student teaching and training too but now it's strictly training and just for more I wasn't like beat the streets world team trials to down in Texas right and the Bill Ferrell too is tremendous I got pushed out like freaking like 10 times I can say Brooks at the world team trials and the match was completely different at in Texas so I'm seeing the jumps I'm able to transition my style all right there's not much of a difference I would say from freestyle to folk style besides like just more control and folk style right you get right on top a little bit more um and control and takedowns but I mean my style I think transitions well and I'm seeing myself make jumps I'm excited for what's to come we have Luhan bangingly trying to make more change next year um how excited is that gonna be just remember to have him training and focus on that that's gonna be nice I think right now it's it's almost like you got laser and me for pwc so a little bit of a weight difference I mean we're training together here and there um but when I'm training with the guys on the team it's a lot of folk style which is nice I mean a lot of it transitions especially on the feet but you can't necessarily get the the full feel so like to have like Luhan next year like shoulder to shoulder I mean we got Parker a little bit this year too um it's gonna be huge and I think you're gonna see a lot of good things just not with like just with pwc with the program like Cedar Falls is gonna be a bump in place
