Professor Jim Scott Recipient
of Prestigious MHSAA Award
Department of Movement Science Professor Jim Scott recently received the Allen W. Bush Award from the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) for his work in developing one of the most comprehensive wrestling weight management programs in the nation.
Professor Scott has long been involved with wrestling as a coach and training expert, especially at the collegiate and Olympic training levels. He was the NAIA Wrestling Coach of the Year in 1977 when he led Grand Valley to back-to-back second-place finishes in the national tournament. His coaching accomplishments resulted in his being inducted into the GVSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. Jim was the Director of the United States Olympic Wrestling Trials in 1984 and has long served as a wrestling consultant for the NCAA, the National Wrestling Coaches Association, and the MHSAA.
Working with experts in the area of weight management, from several other states, Professor Scott helped engineer the nation's first interscholastic weight management assessment program in Wisconsin; and built on that work with the MHSAA, which made its program mandatory in 1997-98.
"One of the things that sets high school sports apart is its work to do everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of its participants," MHSAA Executive Director, Jack Roberts said. "Jim's work has contributed to wrestlers in Michigan learning how to manage their competition weight to not only optimize their participation, but their health."

The project is a collaboration between the Department of Movement Science and the Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center. Its goal is to create a new generation of global residents (Sparklers) who understand the importance of health/fitness and renewable energy. |
