Baptized In A Sea Of Red

“But while his transition looked smooth from the outside, mine felt like dragging a house through the mud.”
—Becca Moore (Chapter 9)

When you step into a high-profile job, you quickly learn that privacy becomes a luxury. You are suddenly under a microscope—photographed, discussed, dissected on social media, and watched closely from every angle. Leaving the comfort and quiet support of Minster and stepping into the bright lights of the GCL, with its history and expectations, was an awakening from the very first media day.

This transition demanded more from us than we anticipated. It taught us that trusting the process isn’t a slogan—it’s survival. Success doesn’t happen overnight, no matter how badly people want it to. It requires buy-in, patience, and the willingness to take things one year at a time, knowing full well that at any moment, you could be asked to walk away.

You learn how to stay positive when the outlook of a season feels bleak. You learn how to keep your footing when criticism is loud and relentless. And you learn that growth often happens quietly, long before the results show up on a scoreboard.

Sometimes the hardest transitions aren’t about learning how to win—but learning how to endure long enough to see why the struggle mattered.
