Meet Coach Scott

Former Minnesota Vikings kicker Scott Sisson holds the Georgia Tech record for career game-winning field goals.

He is a kicking coach who has experienced many, if not most of the things his students hope to achieve. He’s been there, and he now aspires to help other young kickers accomplish as much or more.

Scott kicked in National Championship games and NFL games including Monday Night Football and playoffs. He’s kicked multiple game winning kicks for Georgia Tech (6 wins, 1 tie), as well as for NFL teams in both preseason and regular season games (Jacksonville and Minnesota).

In fact, he’s accomplished personal goals in kicking at every level including high school All-County, All-State, All-ACC, All-America, drafted in the 5th round of the NFL, D1 bowl records, and induction into the Hall Of Fame for a D1 college (Georgia Tech).

Scott has personally experienced both the ultimate highs AND lows of kicking (and how to reverse course when it seemed he’d hit rock bottom).
