Caution Stalling is a podcast hosted by Daniel, featuring candid conversations with coaches and athletes from across Nevada. While the show spotlights wrestling and baseball, it explores the full spectrum of athletic experiences and stories.
At its core, Caution Stalling is dialogue-driven—mixing thoughtful interviews with spirited, opinionated debates. Beyond stats and wins, Daniel aims to highlight the lasting impact sports have on our lives, both inside and outside the arena.
Montana-born wrestling phenom Valyen Rauser, now living in Las Vegas, joins The Caution Stalling Podcast to tell the story of his journey—and what it was like growing up as one half of the Rauser twins.
Val takes us back to his start in wrestling, joking that once he realized he was too small for the NFL, wrestling gave him a chance to beat people up besides his twin brother. After dominating in Montana, a trip to Tulsa introduced him to national competition. He got whooped, had to watch from the sidelines, and made a decision: next time, he'd be the one still wrestling.
Val and his twin Jade traveled everywhere searching for better competition, camps, and training partners. That dedication eventually led to college recruitment and an unforgettable visit to Utah Valley—a school Val didn't even know existed before the trip. By the end of it, both brothers committed in the hotel lobby.
Val also opens up about the difficult decision to walk away from wrestling and choose his health. After surgery finally allowed him to feel healthy and functional again, he realized that feeling wasn't something he was willing to gamble away.
From Montana to the national stage, the Rauser twins, Utah Valley, and ultimately knowing when to walk away—this is Valyen Rauser's story.
