A PSU poster (Agoodnap) replied to me on another forum with an interview that was done a long time ago with a PSU wrestler that was there for the transition to Cael. A great interview and provides great insight into how Cael approached the team when he came on board but also how he conducted practice going forward. I suspect that DT may do something similar. I think you'll love the interview.
Here is what the first few weeks may be like under DT for the team
- Thread starter Pennstate1985
- Start date
A couple of things that I was struck by were…
Reasons wrestlers left of their own volition were… changes in level expectation of commitment as to the new standard as to year-round training, off the mat lifestyle expectations
During training… it doesn’t matter if you give up 100 points, try to score 110 points, just score more than you give up

I loved the process where they put them in a scramble position and the wrestlers came up with what worked for them. I am sure that was shared, but I recall stuff that worked for me did not work for others and visa versa.
You can tell which teams practice this technique and which do not.
