Just a Quick Shout Out Before I'm Off to the Land of ZZZZZZZZ

A lot of coaches who offer sponsorship deals to riders and/or teams find it hard to squeeze in time to personalize their practice for sponsored athletes... especially kidlet athletes. And probably rightly so... there may not be a lot of return on kidlet sponsorships.

As most of you probably know because of the big Moore Performance logo on DBCJRT kidlets' backs, Jesse Moore provides expert level coaching for our athletes. He brings a lot to the table... race experience, a masters degree, an athletic mindset that is to die for. Just enter into a conversation with him about biomechanics, nutrition, peaking, or maintaining a mental edge and you'll see what I mean. He is cutting edge... up-to-date on everything that is relevent. He gleaned a heaping helping of knowledge from Testa and Heiden before they split for Salt Lake and continues to throw garnish and spices on the dish with all that is current in the field. The boy knows his stuff.

And the best part... he takes time to personalize his approach for his athletes. Got a call from him tonight... well after working hours, when by all rights he should have been having dinner with his better half, talking about her day over a glass of wine and a meal. Not that he is neglecting that better half, I'm sure he takes care of her as well as he takes care of the DBCJRT kidlets, but he was just calling to check in on the boys... make sure they were doing all right, was there anything they needed?

He's professional... does his job to make sure the little kiddos are doing their job. That is, to make sure that the Moore Performance logo on their back is the last thing the competition sees as the boys take off down the road...
