Excelsior Charter School is gearing up for another exciting season on the wrestling mat. With a strong group of returning players and some talented new additions, Coach Bryson Moody has high hopes for the team this year. As we caught up with him for a preview article, he shared his insights on the team and what fans can expect this season. Coach Moody is confident in the talent and potential of his returning players. He highlighted wrestlers such as Itzel Padilla and Jerzi Tully, who have proven themselves as top performers in previous seasons. Padilla has an impressive track record, having won both CIF and Masters championships, while Tully is a two-time Masters qualifier. What makes these wrestlers special, according to Coach Moody, is their hunger to win. They are determined to achieve the ultimate team goal of winning a state title and are willing to put in the hard work and dedication to make it happen. Their experience and success on the mat also make them valuable assets to the team, as they can provide guidance and inspiration to their teammates. Excelsior Charter School has some promising new players joining the team this season. Coach Moody predicts that they will make an immediate impact and contribute to the team's success. One name to watch is Chase Cuddy, a sophomore who has impressed the coach with his work ethic and determination. He is described as a "grinder," a quality that Coach Moody values in his athletes. When it comes to choosing team captains, Coach Moody looks for athletes who possess certain qualities such as leadership, dedication, and a positive attitude. The current team captain, Itzel Padilla, leads by example, always listening and setting a good example for her teammates. Coach Moody believes that her leadership skills and her ability to unite the team will play a significant role in building team chemistry and camaraderie this season. For Coach Moody, hard work is the key to bringing athletes together and pushing them to reach their full potential. He plans to motivate his players by implementing challenging workout activities and emphasizing the importance of consistent effort and dedication. The coach believes that when athletes see their hard work paying off, they will be motivated to continue pushing themselves. The biggest challenge in preparing for this season has been getting the parents to buy into the program.
