of a district policy which would
not allow a combination of both
coaching and counseling at the
same time.
Scott took on the tasks of his
new counseling job and retired
his coaching career, but not for
long. Soon he began to realize
the. importance coaching
played in his life. “I didn’t
realize how much I would miss
coaching,” he said. When the
opportunity arose to coach at
the College, he took it. Not on­
ly is he glad he did, but so are
the women he coaches.
Carol Ziemba exemplifies
that fact by saying, “I’m really
glad to have the opportunity to
work with Wade because he’s
the first coach who has sat
down and worked technique
with me. Throwing is 90 per­
cent technique. Working, by
this method, I should be. throw­
ing further than I ever have by
the regiohals and nationals,
and that’s the name of the
game; improvement and
reaching my potential.”
