Ogletree's experiences in high school and collegiate sailing are the driving forces behind his Olympic dreams.  While at Tabor Academy, sailing coach Toby Baker showed Ogletree "the importance of
teamwork ... this lesson of two people working for the same goal was invaluable."
Sailing coach K.C. Fullmer, at Old Dominion, taught Ogletree how to think
like a winner and be a winner.  "He showed me that winning and achieving
requires a great deal of personal sacrifice.  I owe my desire to win to
K.C."
