Saying he is a very good wrestler is an understatement. I like his mindset. He is genuinely doing it his own way. True geniuses aren't often appreciated until after there gone. This kid is a one of a kind

159-0 is beyond impressive. I’m definitely keeping up with what he’s gonna do.
Coach Cael Sanderson was 159-0 4 champion ships 4 years. 2 weights. (Kyle Dake mr.444, look him up for impressive stats as well)
David Taylor. 134 wins, three losses. Made the finals all four years--once losing to Dake, who is the only wrestler to win four titles at four different weights
@@kristopherwilson506 and?
@@RevengeAvenger k and?
@Zeke Boden damn I have heard he’s not that great of a wrestler as someone who never competed I wouldn’t be able to tell but when I watch him he seems legit and yeah I didn’t really understand the move to Michigan but hope the best for him seems to have crazy potential
Lotta people seem to be pissed at Nick decision to leave Penn State. This is the way I took it, Nick realized that Cael doesn't really care about his (Nick's) personal goals and dreams and when Nick got hurt, Cael threw in the towel on him and just decided to pull the backup up since even Penn State's backups are good enough to be starters at most schools. When you are someone with the potential like Nick, you need people helping you reach your dreams, not hindering you. It makes perfect sense for me why he would want to leave a place where he wasn't cared about enough. Rutgers opened their arms and gave him all the focus and support he needed. Nick may have very well won a NCAA championship at Penn State, but Cael's already got several NCAA champs year after year so you can't really blame him for not solely focusing on Nick. But you can't blame Nick either for wanted to be focused on more and supported more if he knew what the results could be.
Well said!
Remember a guy a few years ago named Bubba Jenkins who left for similar reasons. Knew that cael didn't really care about his personal goals, so ended up transferring to asu. Ended up pinning David Taylor in the NCAA finals to become the champion!
FACTS 💯💯💯
and what is Cael's problem? To say he doesn't know what a sprained ankle feels like? What an absolute disrespectful douche
All fn haters,Spencer Lee skipped Penn State cause he was there ,also after he won a national championship he didn't go to any of his classes ,and where is he now, please tell me haters,and tell that same bullshit to all 5 national champions at PSU today
Personally, I believe that Nick was home sick and wanted to go home. I have no issue with the kid making his own decisions. Young kids make lots of bad decisions; perhaps he realized Penn State wasn't for him. People blaming Nick's transfer on Cael is just wrong. Since Cael has been the Penn State Head Coach, how many good wrestlers have transferred? In 12 years, I can only think of Nick and Bubba Jenkins. While coaches should have the wrestler's back, the coach also has a team to manage, not just one wrestler.
I was at that dual in 2017 when Nick was injured. I believe Nick and his warrior spirit wanted to continue, but Cael had Nick's best interests when he said Nick was not going to continue. Sometimes coaches have to protect athletes from themselves. If Cael was so interested in winning (as it relates to Nick and his winning points), he would have had Nick tape that ankle, limp out at the big tens to qualify for Nationals. Nick is talented enough to beat most wrestlers on one leg.
When athletes used to transfer from one school to another, they had to sit out the following year, thus the "red-shirt" could be used.
With this being said, Nick was allowed to go home and wrestle for Rutgers the following season, and became the schools' first-ever National Champion. But now, he's left his home. The changes that Nick made is on Nick, not the Penn State or Rutgers coaches!
With Nick soriano's mindset he could be great in MMA
Who’s soriano?
not everyone wants to get hit in the fucking head for a few thousands
@@shoneast7253 Not everybody competes for money, Great competitors want to test themselves.
Agreed plus there’s zero money in wrestling by comparison even if fighters are underpaid
I’ll bet Aron pico has made more in his early 20s than most pure wrestlers have in their whole lives
I dont even watch wrestling, but I love this kids journey and he got my attention!
thank you for realizing that releasing this to the public will alow the growth of the sport instead of locking it behind a flo subscription
This kid is wise beyond his years. Most people go their whole lives too afraid to chase their goals. Not this guy. Good luck to you.

Great Poem :)
This kid might be one of the most important people of this generation. Listen to everything he says because you to can be great no matter where you perform. Now go and listen to his presser after he won at Michigan. It's not a out the doubters it's about Nick. Props to you brother and the amazing family you come from.
I respect Wrestling and the grind. I learned to push myself and become mentally tough through wrestling. I only lost in matches when I doubted myself. Nick seems to really understand what he wants and I respect that.
Well spoke Nick... I feel you're right and understand what you're saying when when you doubt yourself..
@@scotthackett4500 proper preparations
If the things around you don’t change then change the things around you! I love that!
WTF is this documentary! Im russian that never even watches wrestling and here im fully invested in this man story like in a movie. Great filming
Every now and then, someone iconic comes along, someone who's intensity or calmness just gives you a surge of motivation....to also create opportunities for yourself.
I just learned a TON about the MENTAL side of the game, from this. Thank you for the lesson, Nick Suriano and Flo.
Hey Nick, I'm 34yo and I look up to you. Keep doin what you love.
This is amazing, he’s my favorite wrestler
Anyone with as much determination and perseverance as this guy has has no option but, to succeed. I wish him well
The one thumbs down is from the Penn State coach
Never heard of nick before today. Not even a wrestling fan . This guys made different! Now I’m a wrestling fan! Got me hooked
Love this…thank you for taking this 63 year old back to his old HS wrestling days. It was tough but so much fun for me. I wasn’t number one in the state, but did well enough to get my varsity letter in my freshman year and wrestled same class as Nick. Mom was my diet and weight coach and Coach Hall was my wrestling coach. I was never a football or basketball kid, but loved to wrestle with my kid brother and other kids. For me it was less about strength and more about strategy. Wrestling taught me how to be competitive in business over the years. It was a grind while I was doing it, but loved every moment. Sadly, had to drop out when my grades suffered badly.
I’ve learned over the years, and seems to play true for Nick as well, a lot of decisions are based around the coach. It appears to me that his coach at Penn State was a bit of a dick, while the Rutgers coach was involved and caring and thats a big reason he went with Rutgers.
Small tip from an old fart for all HS wrestlers: watch your opponents hips, not his eyes or anything else. His hips dictate what his next move will be and will help you determine your next move.
I wish this guy all the best. Coincidentally, I also reside in NJ these days, but no more wrestling for me…just competitive golf and business😂
Yeah my coach definitely was centered for his own agenda and it bit him back hard
Nobody cares that you wrestled in high school dude... you're 60+ years old. Lmao and you wrote a whole autobiographical novel about yourself on a video about a world class wrestler because you think you have something in common with him? Narcissistic boomer😂

I understand your anger 😂
@@swisstrader lmao I have 12 thank you very much. And I'm not a TH-camr I couldn't give a F how many subs I have. I have 0 content. Why would anyone sub to me?? Way to prove you're not a narcissist though... literally counting and comparing subscribers is exactly what a narcissist would do.👍
@@ispartacus1337 “why would any one sub to me”??
Pretty much sums it up asshat 😂
Wooow what a story. His story inspired me to work hard in life.
Please continue uploading content like this. This allows the sport to grow and gives great insight what it means to be a a great wrestler. I loved the story of this with nick, he’s really an inspiring person!
He got celebrated like he saved the world when he won a National Title at Rutgers. If he would have done the same thing at PSU, he would have been told “good job, do it again.” That’s not the spotlight that HE HIMSELF said he wanted to be in.
I think Nick is a bit mixed up, but most young kids are; no knock on him. He would have won a National Championship at Penn State had he stayed there.
He beat a gold medal holder
@@mbone1210 not at 125 but maybe at 133
Beaucoup de respect !
Bravo magnifique lutteur !
Kids a beast! Great documentary, Flo.🤟🏻
"It went through, you won, you fucking won" like man even though it was just about trasnfering this dude says things with such heart & conviction it just inspires you
Wow I’m transferring to Rutgers and he’s transferring out 😢 what are the chances
His heart and his mind are in the right place. Great personna!
These documentaries are AMAZING 💯
This is so well done! Who’s the production company behind this? Big props to FloWrestling for this content. So so good.
@18:34 "A Lamborghini...........if you were wondering"
that cracked me up 😂
Beautiful story I have mental issue he motivated me thank you for your courage!
After watching 6 hours of wrestling yesterday state of Michigan individuals Finals on the TV at home... I get up the next day stumbling through some news and this kid's name.. it's really amazing I never even heard of Him before,.. I just sat here and watches 2 hours of his backdrop from his past & His journey,...This kids got Grit, such Self Determination,..an amazing story also doing it his way, as y'all have been saying..
I just want to watch more on this kid and see where he goes and how he develops..His Story is Very Special.. Nick will do great things..you watch.. he's not going to disappear
I wrestled in NY near Bergen I’ve known about him since I was young very very nice kid from a good hardworking god fearing family raised a thoroughbred in Nick through and through
That's one of the most confusing run on sentences I have ever read.
@@bltn7469 😂😂😂
this dude is a killah but he aint no dummy. warrior, willful direction. keep it goin bro
Mad Respect. I'll be pull for ya Nick.
Life is a experience,your journey, not what some other person expects of you. Good on ya mate.
Not into wrestling but this is a great story hope he achieves what ever he has set out to do. Would be awesome to see him in mma.
Great content! Wish him the best of luck.
This kid is an absolute unit
I went from a gym in Dallas to our main competitor gym to train, and what he said about people looking at you in certain ways. That's just how it is.
I was fully accepted by the gym and ended up finding a new home. But that first day boy, damn
I love how he goes ghost on social media . You know he’s working 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Here I am, 30 years old learning something from this amazing wrestler.
This guy is the man!
If I had to guess nick got injured in practice at Penn state not in the match. Nick such a beast tho, amazing to come back the next year!
He went from being in the spotlight and the center of attention at Bergen Catholic to being just one of many incredible wrestlers at Penn State. He transferred to Rutgers because he and Ashnault were the center of attention there.
That’s good point and a valid criticism
Maybe rather than "spotlight" he realized a smaller program could offer him more personal attention. Same as how you might rather train under a local businessman, rather than trying to pick up skills working for a major corporation. There's no reason to project some kind of douchey thinking on this kid.
I mean, regardless he’s number 1. 😂 the criticism is fine but it seems misplaced or somewhat of a douche bag comment more than anything
@@wowthink It's a reasonable assumption to make. Suriano loves the spotlight. He was a celebrity at Rutgers, rather than just another wrestler at Penn State.
@Lorin Sanchez the basic statement is true. The question is does Nick crave the spotlight? Personally, I don't think so; I think he's just another confused young man.
This kid is jersey strong..as real as they come..but has potential to become a great role model !
Now... he's Michigan strong 🤣
That's the sad thing about competitive sports and colleges if you are legitimately hurt you're pressured to keep practicing and playing otherwise they threaten you with revoking your scholarship or something It's good though that you had the option to just transfer and start over
You have to follow your heart, good on him.
champion or not doesnt matter the mark of a real man is to walk away from the expected and forge the path you want for yourself, taking on the unknown and going the hards yards alone well done mate,
All time favorite
One of the best American Wrestler in the history of American Wrestling.
Wow… very impressive as a wrestler and as a person 🔥🔥
Kid is a star already
The obvious problem with Suriano at PSU, was at Bergen, he'd been a 4-Time, undefeated State Champ, and was a big focus of the Staff, the Students, etc. When he went to PSU, he was another wrestler amongst a bunch of the BEST Wrestlers in the Country!! He didn't have the entirety of the Coaching staff and all that he had at Bergen Catholic, and instead of understanding that, and growing as a Man has to do at that age, he blamed it on the Staff, and Teachers at PSU. I know people there, and it's obvious that happened. His feeling something wasn't right or the same, was simply him being a great Wrestler amongst a bunch of the best. He felt he wasn't getting the support, so he transferred. Looking back, it's fairly obvious that Suriano is ALL about Suriano, and that's pretty much it. After going to Rutgers, he said he felt comfortable there...it's just right there for him. He's a Jersey Boy, and it's a Jersey School. I reckon that he no longer feels like a "Jersey" boy anymore. Why he went to MICHIGAN, I have no idea. I'm a Southern Man, grew up in Tennessee. But I have ALOT of family in Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois. I love football, but my passion is wrestling. I watch the Big 10 Network ALOT, because it's the home of College Wrestling. I love College Wrestling. I really wish Suriano would had moved to Iowa. We had a PERFECT place for him. And that's 141. He could have trained, and been allowed to eat on occasion. But, whatever..Go Hawkeyes...
Everyone has their opinion..great view from your side..some people change.. some people stay the same.. you can't always put your mindset in someone else's mind to try to understand what they're going through..👍
Nick future UFC champion
I wouldn't say it now , but give him some time
Every couple years wrestling gets a phenomenal wandering nomad that is the constant wildcard to WIN it ALL, he is not supposed to win it all, the big names at places like Iowa or Penn State or any big name school, Ohio, Oklahoma, etc, But Suriano is the threat that lurks in the minds of every big name wrestler in Nicks wt class
Being a wrestler is not a sport its a lifestyle once you start wrestling and fall inlove with it you never leave
Nick is the best I wrestle
His mentality is called leadership. be your best and inspire others to be their best. A true Role Model
Yeah, "leadership" is changing schools 3 times in 4 years 🤣👍🏻
@@lexingtonconcord8751 I don't have any other knowledge of this man other than this video. It Sells him as an exceptional kid
It's tough when everyone is as good as you when u get to a top program
Facts
Everyone wasn’t as good as him….why do people think a 16-1 starter, and eventual national champ, left because he couldn’t hang? Obviously he could hang…
Haha and what part of him pinning the guy from penn state makes you think “everyone” was as good as him at psu so he had to leave. Doesn’t even make sense.
So the guy who was loosing, before he got stuck by Nick, is a worry for Nick, because he’s as good as Nick? Ummm…. Logic please? Nick is one of the best, in the entire world. What’s that kid’s name from PSU again? Never heard of him.
@@Memnarch *losing
good stuff!! best way to be you, is to be in you
So FloWrestling releases this on August 25, 2021 and doesn't showcase (or even mention) some of the most important events in Suriano's wrestling career from the last two years:
(1.) 2019 NCAA championship over Daton Fix @133lb
(2.) 2021 winning Henri Deglane @57kg
(3.) 2021 not competing in the Olympic Trials due to COVID (a huge scandal--covered in the New York Times)
Flowrestling... Why...? I know that you have footage/coverage on all of this. 25 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
Adam get what you're saying there's other venues out there that are telling Nick's story flow wrestling had only a small segment they could do so they got what they could get with the time slot they had right hey they got a good snippet of info out on him he's a great story nevertheless they'll always be more information coming out on Nick he's just that kind of Kid...👍
Loved that they did the lords prayer as a team!

@@nategalvan3907 I would say u don't pray for the win u pray for the best version of yourself in that moment
@@qhoward5328 id imagine youre praying for safety, while actively competing in dangerous sport for kicks. Its silly. On the list of people who need their saftey prayed for, we fall to the back of the line.

I'm age 21 and did gymnastics for 14 years. I was bullied growing up (adopted out of Ukraine and raised in farm community). At almost age 17 I was severely beat up by older and bigger guys who told me they just wanted to have fun punching my "gymnast abs." Some guys on the wrestling team heard what happened and asked how they could help. I needed to learn to lift weights for hypertrophy and especially to build up my quads. I had trained my abs since age 4 in gymnastics and worked fucking hard to build strong abs for gymnastics. The wrestlers told me they admired my work ethic and my abdominal development. I started training with them and learned a lot how wrestlers train which is different from how we gymnasts trained. Wrestlers and gymnasts both train for their specific sports. I just learned of Nick Soriano recently and saw some of his training. I love his complete dedication to being his very best. It gave me a new appreciation for elite collegiate athletes. My own goal growing up was competing in gymnastics in college. The night I got beat up they spent over 30 minutes throwing punches to all 4 rows of my abs and obliques. I outlasted them (it got too dark and hot and mosquitos were biting badly). But I determined to add a lot more lean muscle mass and make my abdominal wall rock hard. That derailed my goal for gymnastics. I look at Nick and feel I missed out on putting my all into collegiate gymnastics. Training with high school wrestlers gave me an appreciation for all the hard work great wrestlers put into their sport. I think we bonded over abdominal training but then came to appreciate each other's sports.
Being bullied is tough. My best friend and I were bullied when we were 8 until we were 11. He change school, I stayed. Later on In life, we rekindle, and I have never met anyone as determine and hardworking as he is. I guess the toughest road makes the toughest people. I find it rewarding how life balances itself out.
@@alextheextreme So very sorry to hear about your situation. I was adopted from Ukraine and raised in rural American community. I was bullied for the way I talked and being in what they called a sissy sport--gymnastics. I was also extremely muscular as a gymnast and have no body fat. I was the boy who did best in fitness tests and some guys were jealous. And I later know they were jealous. The night I took punches I half wondered how well I could take their punches. I was all alone and no one to help me. I made the decision when they told me they were going to have "a lot of fun" working over my "gymnast abs" to just let them do what they came to do. I later got an email from one of the guys who beat me up saying they didn't want to seriously injure me but I took punches so well that they got out of control. He apologized if they seriously hurt me but said he did have fun and thanked me for that. Well thanks a lot right?? I think getting beat up also forced me to find friends who were not gymnasts. It was wrestlers who told me how much the admired my physique. Some of them were big into abs training and we bonded over abdominal training. I came to appreciate wrestling which was a new sport to me. I'm doing okay not being in college. I turned age 21 last October so this year would have been my college senior year. I feel bad about not going back. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it Alex. Anton
You were beat up because of your abs? You bonded with wrestlers over your abs? Focusing on your abs derailed your gymnastics career? This is the most ridiculous post I have ever read.
@@seejayszolc8415 I don't know if you grew up in sports but both gymnasts and wrestlers take core training very seriously. The wrestlers I knew were impressed how well I take punches and we trained our abs together. Some athletes started working their abs harder because of me. Sorry you can't relate or understand.
@@anthonywilson1754 @anthonywilson1754 Well you just reversed yourself. You said now that gymnasts and wrestlers take core training very seriously. In your earlier post, you claimed you had to abandon your gymnastics goals because you were working on your abs. I have a minor in exercise physiology and have taught strength training. I was a D1 wrestler and I coached wrestlers for ten years after that. We worked on our core to improve on our performance. I didn't have athletes quit the team because they were working on their core goals. Your post reads like fiction without the requisite knowledge to get it right. Sorry you cannot relate or understand.

So when does pt 2 come out? Him going to Michigan
I'm 72 yrs old.I had the same injury on the mat. It was the most pain I ever experienced. Their has to be something fundamentally wacko with wrestlers
I've heard that a lot Ronnie I suppose you are right lot of his goal set, mindset, and also to try to be the best..
Ailments and injury is part of wrestling that's why I couldn't continue in College,.. or kind of didn't want to continue in college because my body wrestled many years, & and no I couldn't compete at my next level the way I wanted to..
This injury ended my football career. Played 2 sets of downs and finally called it. Hurt so bad and messed up my senior year of wrestling. Young, competitive athletes develop a lot of characters through injuries...it sucks
This kid is a touch intense, but that could just as easily be a persona he uses for media. He is definitely very intelligent, plus his work ethic and self belief are off the charts.
This kid is so fucking cool dude
This guy is a legend.
Anyone else notice they pointed to wrong thing at 10:53 lol... the fracture is above it in fibula
Cael sounds like a psychopath only focused on success. And nicks a human who wants to be successful as a human. Makes sense he changed

The only thing that sucks about HS and college wrestling is there is nothing to do around the sport post college. For example, Cam Newton after playing for Auburn can go on to the NFL and make $22M or a whole lot more. Certain sports just dont lend themselves to that.
