Reflecting on the US Open this year, what a privilege it is to coach at such a high level event and to coach my incredible athletes. This year my athletes gave me their all and that’s all I can ask of them. Proud of each of them.
Scotty lost an opening round match against Japan but it was very close and a winnable match.
Drake had to withdraw in his opening round match due to injury.
Caleb won two matches and made it to the quarterfinals and fought three rounds against the Canada Open champion losing by a single point.
Desmond lost a very hard fought and close opening round match.
Taylor won two matches and lost on the semis against a very good fighter from Brazil taking home a bronze medal.
Now it’s time to charge forward and get back to work for the next event. CUTA is next in a few weeks in Fresno.
