Joel Sharratt has worked hard to restore Navy wrestling to national prominence since taking over as head coach in 2014.
Sharratt, who spent six seasons as an assistant in Annapolis under predecessor Bruce Burnett, followed a strategy of bringing in highly-rated recruits then instilling them with the technique, tenacity and toughness to succeed at the Division I level.
“Since I came back in 2014 it’s been a process of hitting the recruiting trail strong, solidifying our team culture in terms of standards and just implementing a philosophy for what we want Navy wrestling to be,” Sharratt said.
