To look at Scott Glabb, you might think he looks like your old gym teacher from school.

He probably looks like one of thousands of teacher-coach types that show up for work at high schools all across America. If you're like me, you have bad memories of the stereotypical gym coach / history teacher / bully so many Hollywood movies have mocked for years. You know the kind of guy I'm talking about...overcompensates for everything that's wrong in his life and takes it out on innocent students who are smaller and weaker than him. Mr. Seely, if you're reading this I'm talking to you! This kind of jerk is the type of teacher you wonder how he ever got hired--and after you become an adult, understand perfectly why he couldn't ever do better than high school wrestling coach.
But Scott Glabb is far from the tainted image Hollywood has painted on so many coaches. In fact, he's just the opposite. Scott is an ordinary man but he is doing extraordinary work. Scott Glabb personifies Born Stronger because he is a light in the darkness. He battles in the face of opposition. And has been inspirting students to be their very best for nearly 20 years.

What does Scott Glabb do that is so special? He works hard and doesn't quit.
In the fall of 1990, Scott took a job at Santa Ana High School at a time when the wrestling program was having no success. With his experience and a lot of hard work, Scott guided the Saints to their first league Championship in 1993 - a Santa Ana High historical record, and then on to seventeen straight league titles.

From Scott's website: "By 1996, Glabb’s team had won the CIF (California Inter-scholastic Federation) DIV. III team championships and went on to capture the 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2003 CIF Team and Dual Meet Titles. In 2007, 2008 & 2010 The Saints won 3 more CIF Dual Meet Championships..thus totaling 12 CIF titles for the wrestling program. The highlight of Glabb’s coaching tenure was when the team placed 4th in the California State Championships in 1999."

According to his website, Scott has compiled an overall record of 329 wins and 58 losses. He coached 24 individual CIF champions, 50 state qualifiers and 15 state place winners. Aside from these accomplishments, he is extremely proud of two National Championship wrestlers he has coached Tony Perez who wrestled at 103lbs in 1998 and Jose Leon at 112lbs in 1999.

Glabb is currently a member of the Orange County Wrestling Coaches Association and the National High School Coaches Association. He won the Orange County Register’s Wrestling “Coach of the Year” Award in 1996 and 1998, the LA Times “Coach of the Year” in 1996, and the National Wrestling Coaches Association “California State Wrestling Coach of the Year” in 1999.
He was also the recipient of the California Coaches Association state wrestling coach of the year award in 2007.
He is also involved with the Campus Ministry “Fellowship of Christian Athletes” and was honored as the FCA “John Wooden” Southern California Coach of the Year in 2003. In May 2004 Glabb was presented the “Coaches & Spouse Influence Award” by the Coaches of Influence Christian Ministry and was presented the Community Recognition Award by the city of Santa Ana Parks and Recreation Board.
The accolades and acommplishements are not what sets Scott apart. It is his indomitable spirit. Someone with the character and ability to inspire kids to stay active in a sport that has the potential to keep them out of trouble. I would imagine that being a wrestling coach is often a thank-less an low-paying job. But Scott Glabb takes pride in his work. He is successful in more ways than just a winning stats. He's successful advancing students and preparing them for life. Scott Glabb is Born Stronger.
