-Coach Keller [email protected] 2021-22 BPS GIRLS WRESTLING Season OutlookAs the inaugural season of North Dakota’s NDHSAA sanctioned girls wrestling season approaches, head coach for the BPS team, Scott Knowlen, ponders his vision for the three Bismarck teams. “First, I’d like to recognize that most of our girls seem to have a desire to jump into this season with a great deal of enthusiasm! I love that! We can build on that!” Knowlen admits that only a small handful of girls have any prior wrestling experience…some in the local wrestling clubs or on a boy’s middle school and/or high school teams. “Our coaching staff knows we have to be patient developing our wrestlers; but also, we will lay out clear expectations and future individual and team goals. I think it’s important for our athletes to realize where they begin on our first day of practice is not where they’ll be in that last week of the season as we’re preparing for the State Tournament in February. I am confident we are going to surprise some people!” Another aspect Coach Knowlen wants all of his teams to realize is that this first season’s long journey will be hard; it will be fun; it will promote growth as a wrestler, a teammate and person; and especially, it will be very rewarding for all of those who put forth the effort through hard work and who strive to reach their goals by seasons end! “It’s very rewarding to me to have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my student athletes, both as a wrestler and as a person! That is why I had coached for over 35 years, and why I was enticed back into coaching. Wrestling is a tool that molds character, which helps to develop attributes to achieve and overcome many obstacles they will face in their adult lives! I look forward to trying to make a positive difference in each of my wrestler’s life! And as I get to know my assistant coaches better, I sense that same desire in them. We’re going to have a great season!” |
