Same sport, new goals: Identity found in coaching after ended career

By George Schroeder | LTVN Executive Producer

Roughly three years ago, Baylor men’s club soccer head coach and Bristol, Penn., junior Jordan Scott was forced to step away from the pitch as a player and contemplate his next move. Scott said he wanted to continue playing, but injuries prevented that from realistically happening.

“I had to make the decision between playing and being in near constant pain or giving up what I love,” Scott said. “It was the most frustrating experience in my life.”

In the team’s 2-1 win over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor last Tuesday, Scott continued his renewed passion to stay around the sport, except this time from the sidelines.
