Coleman Scott Refocuses For World Team Trials

It’s all about balance, and Coleman Scott knows all about that.   In his first season of coaching at North Carolina, (where he is now the interim head coach) the former Oklahoma State Cowboy has his alter egos of coach, competitor and dad completely under control. And he doesn’t let one overtake the other.   .post-content img { padding: 10px; } Scott has had the pleasure of being around the most talented wrestlers and coaches since his years as a young Pennsylvania wrestler at Waynesburg all through his years as wrestler and coach at OK. State under the legendary John Smith. And it’s those experiences that have made him the presence he is today whether he’s in the chair or toeing the line against the world’s best.   “When I’m in the room as a coach, that’s exactly what I am and nothing more,” Scott said. “I’m always learning, but I make sure that I am coach first when it’s my guy’s time to work. Now when it’s my time I’m selfish about getting the best work I can get.”   Even though he has it together now, it wasn’t always easy to make the transition between coach and competitor on a day-to-day basis.   “It’s a lot of early mornings and late nights,” said Scott. “You’ve got to make sure that you get your workout’s and your guys are getting their workouts in. I don’t just want to be average at anything. I still want to be the best in the world. So it’s a lot of hours and with a wife and two kids as well that I want to be there for as much as I can it’s a long day. But in the end it will be worth it.”
