Flatlander Report post Posted January 31, 2019 I can't find it now but there is a video of him at Poston Butte teaching his players about motivation and effort where he asks a kid for his best effort in a speed drill and then after he does it once he then offers him cash to beat his previous "best effort". That's the kind of teaching he was brilliant at. Making kids challenge themselves, learn how to give more, how to be more. My BIL told me a story of getting blown up on the sideline after fielding a dangerous punt and taking it to the house, Coach Moro told him it was dangerous and selfish. In their family he is a legend. I wish my kids would have had the chance to play for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted January 31, 2019 i only saw coach Moro get mad once. Minor, like because one practice wasn’t going great. He got effort out of players because they didn’t want to let him down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted February 1, 2019 Yeah, he was an innovator - he created "California Camp" where we ran drills in the sand and water, also created "Mountain Camp" where we got dropped off up around Big Lake and had to hike, run explore as a team - out in the wilderness. He really knew how to push young men and make them bond in uncomfortable situations. That's his legacy of creating a team bond that led a lot of physically small teams to beat bigger, stronger teams. He certainly knew how to motivate, and get people to work together, but more importantly, he was all about individualism and how making yourself the best you can be, then combining that with others who were like-wise motivated, could do amazing things. Of course, he had his own demons to recon with, but I'd count him in the top 3 of most influential men in my life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
