There is not a Mooney athlete whose life was not touched by Doc Gordon during his tenure. Team Physician doesn't nearly cover the range of services that he performed. His involvement in Mooney athletics transcended the traditional doctor/patient relationship. He was a mentor, an advocate, and most of all, a friend to all those who needed his considerable skills. Doctor Gordon was the valedictorian at Minerva High School, attended Mount Union College on a scholastic and athletic scholarship, and graduated second in his class from Marquette University School of Medicine. Since 1981, he has been the Director of Student Health Services at Georgia Tech and has been the Team Physician for all sports including Georgia Tech's 1990 National Football Champions. He is also a contributing author of two chapters in the textbook Athletic Training and Sports Medicine, published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. His commitment, loyalty, and enthusiasm are at the very foundation of Cardinal Mooney's athletic success.
