United Soccer Coaches, formerly known as NSCAA, has announced Scotty McCarty as CT's HS Coach of Significance for his impact on player's lives. Having played for him formerly over 20 years ago on his first Northwest Rovers team, I can say he taught me to play, he helped me and my teammates through teenage problems, he supported us and pushed us to follow our dreams. He inspired me to coach and to focus on doing the best for the kids first and the game second, made a positive impact on their lives that would last. He's an inspiration and I consider myself blessed to call him a friend, mentor, and former coach. Congrats to USC for recognizing not the coach who won the most games but a tremendous coach who has won hearts and shaped character and made a significant positive impression on hundreds of kids. 21 years later and I can say when I think of Scotty, I think of someone who loves kids, embodies honor and integrity, demonstrates teamwork and strong character, relentless optimism, and always thinks dreams are attainable. In tough times, he has been a confidante, a guide, a source of humor and hope, and an advocate. And for those who know him, the crazy things he would say! Lol, cheers to you Scotty! Well done, well deserved, and thank you.
