RUDIS Wrestling Podcast #144: Exclusive Interview with Lehigh Head Coach Pat Santoro

On this episode of the RUDIS Wrestling podcast, Matt Dernlan is joined by veteran Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro. Santoro is a native of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and a 2x NCAA Champion and the only 4x All-American for the University of Pittsburgh. Dernlan and Santoro discuss how Lehigh has responded to the Coronavirus, how the transition to virtual coaching and academics has served for the Mountain Hawks, and what separates the good from the great. The two break down the EIWA and Lehigh's consistent success in the largest collegiate wrestling conference, which continues to grow more difficult each year, as well as the importance of Regional Training Centers and what coaches look for when adding senior level athletes to an RTC setting.
