It’s important to recognize what was accomplished this year by our head coach, Joe Moore. When the pandemic began, Joe immediately told our athletes that all they could do was control how they react and encouraged them to make the most of it. As restrictions permitted, we had athletes compete in Iowa, Utah, Kansas, and Maryland during the offseason. Joe found ways to make the athletes who were willing to show up better. And a lot of our boys showed up.
In a season when we had only 5 weeks and dual formats for competition, Joe was one of the few coaches in Colorado to fill the whole schedule and give all our boys an opportunity at 20 regular season matches. Littleton won more duals (7) this year than we have in the previous 4 years combined. At present, we have two regional place-winners with two more athletes in the mix for tomorrow.
Joe repeats his isms for us all the time; build a brand, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago but the second best time is today, and PROCESS, are some of my favorites. Whether it’s training mental fortitude on Mental Mondays, getting wild on wacky Wednesday’s, or taking some time to reflect on Thankful Thursday’s, Joe is a more than a wrestling coach, he is a life coach with an emphasis in the worlds oldest and noblest sport.
Thanks for another stellar season Coach Joe.
