“I would say I really enjoy
teaching,” said seventh-year
Clackamas Community College
wrestling head coach Josh
Rhoden. “Whether it’s the sport
of wrestling, life skills, decision
making, or whatever the topic,
I like to help these guys to be
better.”
Rhoden is an intense coach
who holds his wrestlers to a high
standard. Cougar wrestling is one
of the programs at CCC that is
credited with national acclaim.
Athletes from all over the nation
come to Oregon in order to attend
Clackamas and be part of the
wrestling program.
“In practice, I feel like I am
very demanding,” said Rhoden.
“We expect these guys to practice
as close to perfect as possible,
and I look in the comer and see
myself and Bret Bom fire up
for them, coaching them through
situations on the mat.”
The team is ranked No. 3
nationally in the National Junior
College Athletic Association pre
season rankings. Rhoden and both
assistant coaches, coach Bom
and Rich Vigorito, have been
at Clackamas for seven years.
Every season in their tenure the
Cougars have gone to nationals,
never placing below 8th.
