Badger Newcomers: Baer, Horwath, Liegel and Weber

By Other Contributors on November 4, 2011 2:22 PM | No TrackBacks

The Wisconsin wrestling team is full of young talent, featuring eight true freshmen wrestlers.

UWBadgers.com sat down with four newcomers, Frank Baer, Brock Horwath, Scott Liegel and Brandon Weber, to discuss what they have been working on in the wrestling room and how their first year in Wisconsin wrestling is going at UW.


Frank Baer

How is your freshman year going?

"It's going good. It's different from high school, but I'm transitioning well. It's a lot of fun, but wrestling is a lot of work too."

Is there any particular skill that you have picked up in college?

"Overall, my toughness is much better. I went to a pretty tough high school, but this is that much of a higher level."

How does Wisconsin wrestling compare to what you have done in the past?

"There is a demand to go 110 percent every time you are out there."

 

Brock Horwath

What do you like about Wisconsin wrestling?

"I love that its competitive, a lot more than high school. It's a lot better."

What's the biggest difference between high school and college wrestling?

"The commitment for sure is the biggest difference. In high school, I didn't have morning practices. I like it though."

 

Scott Liegel

How are practices going so far this year?

"I like the competition in the wrestling room. I'm getting better every day. It's tough, but so far it's going really well."

Is there any wrestler in particular that you love to compete against?

"Everyone around my weight class pushes me. We push each other every day. We have a lot of guys around my weight class that are good. I'll learn from their experience."

 

Brandon Weber

How is your freshman year going so far?

"It's going great. The biggest thing for me is I really like the guys on the team and the coaches. Day in and day out they're pushing us to be the best we can be."

Has any coach in particular been working with you?

"I've been working a lot with coach (Eric) Bugenhagen, especially with the lifts and our group drills in the morning. He's been pushing me and helping me transition from high school wrestling to college wrestling."

What is the biggest transition from high school to college wrestling?

"I'd say hand fighting and having heavy hands. When you wrestle in high school, you can kind of rest at certain points in the match, but when you get to college, guys are always beating on the head. I think that's one of the things that coach Morningstar stresses the most is being physical on the head so you can wear your opponent down."

How do you like Madison?

"I love the city. It's a ton of fun."

Badger Newcomers: Hietpas, Hochstaetter and Medbery

The Wisconsin wrestling team is full of young talent, featuring eight true freshmen wrestlers.

UWBadgers.com sat down with three newcomers, Austin Hietpas, Brett Hochstaetter and Connor Medbery, to discuss what they have been working on in the wrestling room and how their freshmen years are going at UW.


Austin Hietpas

How have you liked Wisconsin so far and how is school going?

"The atmosphere is awesome and the coaches are awesome.

Is there any wrestler in particular that you have been practicing a lot with leading up to the Intra-Squad Scrimmage?

"I've been wrestling a lot with Matt Kelliher. He's been pushing me. He has a little different style than me so it's always challenging."

What have you taken away from practicing the last couple of weeks that you have added to your wrestling?

"I think college wrestling brings intensity. It's a step up from high school because the time commitment."


Brett Hochstaetter

How are your first couple weeks of practice going so far?

"It's been tough with really long days. You have to really devote yourself to being there every day."

What pushes you to keep going?

"The one-on-one competition keeps me going. You want to show that you're better than the other person. It shows how good of a wrestler you are."

What have you learned from the coaches this year that you will apply to your wrestling going forward?

"Mental toughness is a big thing. Getting that one extra rep in or making sure your technique is good even when you're tired - always pushing forward."

Is there any particular wrestler that is helping you perform at a higher level?

"When I wrestle with Ben Jordan he usually beats me up pretty good but I learn a lot from him."

How are you enjoying your first year at UW?

"It's a great atmosphere and a really good college town. Everything is focused on Badger pride and classes are good too."

 

Connor Medbery

How are you liking your freshman year at Wisconsin?

"I love it. It's a great town and great place to be. I'm really enjoying wrestling and everything about it. I like it a lot."

How has wrestling added to your college experience?

"There are definitely a lot of resources available to you. Being able to study at the Fetzer Center and everything else at your disposal has really added to my college experience."

Is there anyone in particular in the wrestling room that is pushing you to the next level?

"Coaches (Eric) Bugenhagen and (Trevor) Brandvold are really helping me move forward in my wrestling."

What have you taken away from Wisconsin wrestling that you are going to add to your game that you didn't have before?

"I think some of the hand fighting stuff that I've picked up. Also being aggressive and pushing the pace every time is going to help my wrestling a lot.

How has the transition been from Colorado to Wisconsin?

"All the guys are really great so it's been an easy transition."

Jordan and Schmitt look ahead

WRST_110930_Jordan.jpg

The Wisconsin wrestling team looks extremely young on paper this season, but is led by two very experienced redshirt juniors, Ben Jordan and Cole Schmitt. Both wrestlers qualified for the 2011 NCAA Championships and posted their best records to date last season.

UWBadgers.com sat down with the two wrestlers to discuss what they have been working on in the offseason and what fans should expect to see out of Wisconsin's wrestling squad this year.

 

Ben Jordan

How are you going to step up this season and make an impact?

"I'm just going to do my best to lead the team. I know we had some coaching changes last year and we have a lot of young guys, so I'm going to do my part and lead by example. I'm really confident in everyone on our team."

How do you feel about wrestling at 165 lbs. this season?

"I think it's the right weight for me and I think it's probably where I should have been for my whole career. There were some things that prevented me from that. I'm looking forward to it. I have one more chance at it. It's now or never so I have to get it done."

Do you expect anyone in particular to step up this year?

"We have some sophomores who are looking to break into the line-up for the first time. It can be very intimidating coming in and starting in the Big Ten, but those guys need to focus on wrestling. They just need to go out there and give everything they have for seven minutes."

What have you been working on in the offseason to prepare for this season?

"I worked on getting back to my style of wrestling. I drifted away from a couple of years so I need to get back on the attack, always push the pace and the same things that worked in high school are going to work here."

What would a successful year look like to you?

"I want nothing less than All-American. I'm going for first in the country obviously."

 

Cole Schmitt

What did you learn from the NCAA Championship last season that you are going to apply this season?

"I need to keep wrestling every match. My head really wasn't in that second match. I think after my appendix surgery, my head just wasn't in it. For whatever reason, I was afraid to go out there and wrestle. I think I was afraid to get hurt."

What did you learn from your injury last year?

"I look at Andrew (Howe) and how he can back from his injury. He came back and it seemed like his wrestling never suffered. I came back and just didn't have the right mindset and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to."

What will be the most notable difference in your wrestling this season?

"Strength is a big one. With (Eric) Bugenhagen's lifts this summer, our whole team is a lot stronger. I think people will notice my strength is a lot better."

Meet the mom of Wisconsin wrestling

WRST_110919_Berndt_Sandy.jpg

BY JUSTIN MOZER
UW Athletic Communications

Coaches often receive all of the credit for a successful athletic program, but no one on the Wisconsin wrestling staff would deny that the mom of Wisconsin wrestling, Sandy Berndt, is a huge part of its success.

Now in her 14th year, UWBadgers.com sat down with Berndt to discuss the 2011-12 season and what she loves most about Wisconsin wrestling.

What are you looking forward to this season?
"I am absolutely looking forward to working with Ryan (Morningstar) and Kyle (Ruschell) because the energy level is so great this year. They're just a lot of fun to work with. They are both young and have a lot to learn, but they're willing to learn and haven taken on any job I have thrown their way so far. We have a really great rapport between all of us. It's going to be a fun year."

How has your relationship developed with Ruschell and Trevor Brandvold from being former wrestlers to now co-workers of yours?
"I still have to whip them into shape every now and then, but I think the transition has been pretty good. They respect me enough as the older woman in the office that we get along just fin."

What are your everyday duties as the mom of Wisconsin wrestling?
"Everyday duties change every day. That's the fun part of this job. I don't think I've had two days alike since I've been here. Anything from taking care of something a student might need academically, or the NCAA clearinghouse, or the coaches getting trapped at a car rental because they don't have their corporate card with them. We have a full gambit of things that go on. Then you throw Bucky on top of that and I have enough to keep me busy."

What is your favorite thing about Wisconsin wrestling?
"The energy and Barry. To know Barry, you can't help but love him because he is so excited about this sport and has such a passion for it. He moves a mile a minute with ideas, but he's just fun to be around. He keeps you young. If you can't keep up with him, you better get out of the way."

Meet the new Badger wrestling staff

By Other Contributors on September 9, 2011 2:15 PM | No TrackBacks
The 2011 Wisconsin wrestling team features several fresh faces with seven newcomers on its squad. Along with the incoming freshman, head coach Barry Davis' staff features three new assistant coaches, Ryan Morningstar, Kyle Ruschell and Trevor Brandvold.

UWBadgers.com sat down with these new coaches to get a better idea about what they expect from the team and what exactly they bring to the table.

Ryan Morningstar

How do you like the switch to Wisconsin?
"I like it a lot. It's a good fit for me. We have a good group of guys and a good staff. I'm working hard to win some national championships."

What do you bring to the program?
"I bring a hard work ethic and my experience on three national championship teams means I know what it takes to win. I just want to pass that on to these guys. I'm on my own now and I couldn't be in a better place."

What are your everyday duties as assistant coach?
"Right now, I am doing a lot of recruiting. I've been visiting and talking with guys. It's just getting going now as far as our season goes. We start our first practice next week and I'm excited for that."

What would you like to accomplish this year as a coach and what would you like to see the team accomplish?
"I think they are one in the same. If the team does well, I do well. My goals are that they reach their goals. I just want to help the team be the best they can be."
 

Kyle Ruschell

What do you hope to get out of this season?
"I think we really have to work with our younger guys and have them step up. I know their goal is to be All-Americans and national champions, but my own goal is to do everything I can to make that happen."

What is your primary role as the assistant coach?
"We separated the guys individually with different coaches. I'll take what I know about each guy and help them develop at each position. The big thing for our guys right now is bottom. I'm working primarily with 141, 149 and 157 lbs."

How is recruiting going?
"We've been doing just a little bit so far. I think we're going to go see a couple more guys soon. It's fun. I remember when I got recruited here and I just try to take what I learned from that. It was a great experience and I want to make the experience just as good for those kids."

How is being a coach going to help you with your wrestling?
"I've already started to view things differently. From practices to even position-wise in wrestling. Instead of looking at a move and trying to duplicate it, I see why it works."

Trevor Brandvold

How has the year been going so far?
"The guys have been doing a really good job working out on their own and lifting with Eric Bugenhagen, which I think has been great. They are going to be really strong this year and that's exciting. We'll start up with some regional training site practices. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the mat with those guys."

How do you feel about being a coach and not on the mat competing for UW?
"It's going to be new and exciting. Last year was kind of a cool year as a transition because I was one of two seniors. I think the guys already looked up to me as a team captain, so I feel like I am almost in the same role now as a younger coach, and a guy they can approach with their problems on and off that mat. I'm really looking forward to being there for them in that way. I'm excited to take an extra step in the coaching realm."

What is your goal as a coach this year?
"My goal this year is to really focus on the bigger guys and to help them get better. I know what it takes to succeed at a high level at the upper weights so I'm looking forward to working with the bigger guys. Also, being there for the guys on and off the mat is important to me. I also thing I bring an intensity and some unique techniques."

Off the mat with coach Kyle Ruschell

UWBadgers.com caught up with assistant wrestling coach Kyle Ruschell after recently completing World Team Training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo. The USA Wrestling world teams held training camps at the Olympic Training Center in preparation for the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey in September.

What is World Team Training camp?

The World Team Training camp has the top wrestlers in freestyle in the nation come to train together in Colorado Springs.

What is your training schedule like?

My training schedule is pretty similar to the guys. I am on the mat with them every day and working out when they do. I also travel to get freestyle instruction of my own. 

While I was out in Colorado Springs we had two workouts a day either wrestling twice, a lift and time on the mat or a run and then time on the mat. 

What did you learned at camp that you will bring back to Wisconsin?

I learned new technique and how to attack certain positions. While I was out there I also picked up how to get my point across to my wrestlers. By being part of the practices out there, I recognized new ways to run practices to give the guys in our room a different feel, instead of the same workout week-in and week-out.

Did you ever attend World Team Training camp as a student-athlete? If so, how is it different attending as a coach?

I did. While I was out there as a student all I looked at was new technique for me. Now when I go out there I watch every time a coach is doing something so I can bring it back to Wisconsin. Also, I never really paid attention to the flow of practice and how it needs to be planned out so you're not just bouncing all over the place.

What else have you been doing this summer?

This summer I have been in Wisconsin working with the guys, training for the Olympic trials in April and coaching wrestling camps.

What are you looking forward to this year at Wisconsin?

I am looking forward to our young guys stepping up with opportunity. These guys work hard and I know how bad they want to succeed. I am excited to help them reach their goals.
