Nomination email:
I would like to nominate Scott Wiseman for the Elite Sportswear Coach of the Week. Scott is a bowling coach in Sherwood Park and has been a coach to young bowlers for nine years. Before taking an active role as a coach, Scott has been a mentor to young bowlers in Sherwood Park for over twenty years.
Scott met me before I was born as him and his wife Wendy were a young couple on my parent’s bowling team when my Mom was pregnant. Now, I got to know Scott while I grew up in Sherwood Park as Scott was always a friendly face at the bowling alley and was always there with a tip to help out or just a patient ear to listen to me vent. Scott is unrelentingly positive and has an infectious attitude that makes you want to perform for him. Scott is a perfect example of the kind of coach you want your kids to have. He emphasizes fun, but he also helps with focus and discipline and consistency on the lanes.
Scott has coached children from the age of four years old to nineteen and has been a trusted and friendly voice in the bowling community for over thirty years now. Scott was selected as a coach at the Alberta Bowling School in both Calgary and Edmonton in each of the past three years. I’ve spoken to the boys at the bowling alley and we couldn’t think of a day of the week when he isn’t there helping out in some way. Scott initiated a drop-in night at Sherwood Bowl in 2011 that offers instruction to both adult bowlers. Scott originally got involved with the coaching side of bowling when his twin boys (Tim and Dexter) were young bowlers. Both of them are also well regarded in the bowling community and have grown into outstanding adult bowlers now. With both of his sons graduated from the Youth Bowling program, Scott has gotten even more involved in coaching and has dedicated himself to being the best coach possible. Scott’s passion for what he does is infectious as he has gotten both of his boys as well as his wife Wendy heavily involved with the youth bowling program in Sherwood Park.
Just last week, Scott led the Sherwood Park Bantam Girls to the 2013 National Championships in Vancouver after having won both the Edmonton Zone and the Provincial Championships.
Thanks,
Robert Parks
