Nate Jesuroga?

You don’t like tough posting!
Based on what I know about the two youth programs discussed in here, I would be much more likely to send my kids to a program with Askren's philosophy vs. Sebolt's. Much more prone to burnout in that Sebolt philosophy. The primary goal is for the kid to love the sport, IMO, and that ideology isn't super conducive to that.
Agree. Ben talks a lot about this type of stuff on the show. Often catch myself thinking he seems like someone I’d send my own kid to train under. I think the results of his athletes shows he’s doing something right. On another note, it will be interesting to see how the McCort kids pan out in college. Bassetts, Forrest, Gibsons and some others seem to never take a break from training. From the 5am workouts in the basement to Young Guns and trips to M2 and NLWC, I don’t even see how they get any school work done. Lol
Well, school is all about prepping to make money, right? Consider this a starter fortune.
That post got removed pretty quickly at least on Fb. The comments got pretty interesting. I’m sure Riggins transferred solely for educational purposes only and just merely a coincidence that he wrestles at 126
Hmmmm. Surprised the coach at SEP didn’t let NJ move up AND provide scholastic opportunities for Riggins as well.
I don’t think NJ has any interest in moving up, or wrestling for that matter.
You think he’s quit wrestling because his coach wouldn’t “allow” him to move up a weight?
That’s an interesting take.
Have you read any of the past 9 pages? Lol
There’s an 83% chance he didn’t. But there is also an 83% chance he did. Unfortunately there’s also an 83% chance that decision hasn’t been made. Personally I’m 83% sure it’s one of those three.
I don’t think anything. But I am questioning reason. Burnout would be convenient but may leave out details, eh?
You guys - he hasn't wrested a single match all year. State tournament is a month away. That should tell you something. Word is he has his sights on being a Navy seal which is admirable. I'm disappointed too, but that's the direction he chose and I'm fine with that too.
I'm disappointed as well, hate to see talent just get up and walk away. If he's truly lost his fire for the sport it's probably for the best.
I'd question Nate why not do both? Wrestle at a D1 program, get your degree, join the Navy and go through OCS, get commissioned then BUD/S and hopefully graduate from there in an officer position.
The body he will take into a Navy Seal program after wrestling in a D1 program (especially Iowa) will be a battered and beaten version of the one he has now.
He may be burnt out, he may feel satisfied with what he has accomplished as a wrestler or he may just have a higher or stronger calling.
Personally, I think if he wants to be a seal, he is going about it the correct way.
Danny Murphy would beg to differ.
I can't believe that no one has brought up the Vision Quest analogy. Let's see what Shute has to say about it.

Frank Jasper Is Still The Ultimate Wrestling Villain
Frank Jasper played Shute in the movie "Vision Quest." He remains the most loved bad guy in wrestling movie history.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
So you are saying all ex Iowa wrestlers are left with with battered body that means they cannot be a seal? I hope you are joking. Maybe you should ask Ken Leur or Steve Banach about that. I believe wrestling is a great preparation for being in the special forces.
Iowas record of keeping wrestlers healthy the past few years isn’t real stellar. So to act like he would leave this program a lean mean fighting machine just might not be true. Might not be a risk he’s willing to take.
I think it may be time to let Nate rest in peace until something changes.
Agree, he hasn't wrestled and there is no indication that he will. The coaches need to look at getting another blue chip in his place. If Nate decides to come back at some point then go from there.
This.
Steve Banach said tonite he wouldn’t have been a Ranger, if not for the mental and physical training he received under coach Dan Gable at Iowa.
BTW he received a standing ovation from the crowd, which was well deserved.
There is a rumor that he was wrestling with Sebolt this summer and sustained a hell of a concussion and was never same after. Rumor are rumors though. I respect his decision. Just disappointed
