The longtime leader perseveres in a post-COVID environment of fewer wins and less participation
With more than 30 years of coaching, Ron Hamamoto thought he had seen it all with stops at University of San Diego High , Rancho Bernardo, Lincoln and Monte Vista.
“COVID hurt us,” said Hamamoto, who has reached the section championship at all four schools, including a frustrating 10-7 loss to Vista in 2001, when he was at Rancho Bernardo and both schools were in Division I, the largest at the time. “When we had 40 to 50 kids come out, the competition motivated them. You decide to miss a practice because it was too hot and the coach would likely sit you and you might lose your starting spot on the team. Now it’s OK to miss.
Instead, they gave him 100 percent support because he, like so many other coaches, isn’t just a win-loss guy, but someone who believes sports builds character in a ton of ways on and off the field.
