Passion for Wrestling Impacts Moon Wrestling in A Positive Way
Wrestling in Western Pennsylvania is like a religion, some of the best wrestlers in the country have come out of Western Pennsylvania, but in order to build a successful wrestler for the future it all starts in the early stages and that's where Sean Thomas comes in. Mr. Thomas graduated from Washington High School where he wrestled and played football. He still holds the high school record for most wins at Washington High, and was named to the ALL-Time Washington High School Team. His love for wrestling showed as he was a Division 1 wrestling recruit who chose to play football in college at Edinboro University where he played two years at Cornerback for the Fighting Scots.
Sports were always a big part of Thomas’ life, but after high school he didn’t come back around wrestling for about 10-15 years. He now has two sons who are wrestling for Moon Township. His sons, Legend and Elijah, have had great success in their young careers, Legend who went undefeated in duals this year and Elijah, who placed 4th overall at Area’s. For the first few years Thomas just wanted to be a wrestling dad and help his sons. He never thought of coaching but that all changed when he was approached by a coach to help out the program. After a few years his passion took over and he eventually became the head coach of the first and second year kids, which is a very important time to train and teach these young wrestlers the fundamentals, and learn the sport in and out.
When I asked Mr. Thomas, what is your goal for the program, he simply replied to maximize the youth and to teach the kids what they need to be taught to be successful as they reach the middle school and high school level. Moon Township wrestling program has a great group of coaches and support around the program currently, and this is a chance to build a program from the ground up and turn the high school program into a powerhouse in due time. With Mr. Thomas at helm and the rest of the coaches who are passionate about wrestling I think the program has a bright future, and will continue to blossom into one of the elite wrestling programs top to bottom in Western Pennsylvania. It all starts with the youth and that’s how you impact the future. I have no doubt that's exactly what Thomas and the Moon Wrestling Program will do!
