Schimming Named District 6 Head Coach of the Year by WWCA

This past week Whitewater High School Wrestling Coach John Schimming was recognized by the Wisconsin Wrestling Coaching Association (WWCA) as District 6 Head Coach of the Year.

Words from Coach Paul Majors:
Coach Schimming has put together a program that emphasizes the total young person. Both young male and female wrestlers join the program because they want to give it a try. We truly believe they stay with the program because Whitewater High School Wrestling is all about developing not just the wrestler in youth but the whole person. Many times over the years, we’ve heard youth talk about how Coach Schimming has been the person in their lives who really went to bat for them and who is the closest thing to a father they’ve ever had. This year we had nearly 50 wrestlers in our program and that is amazing for a district with about 600 students in the high school. As someone who has volunteered in our program for nearly 20 years, I see firsthand some of the vast time and effort he puts into this program to serve youth. And I only see the part which occurs at school. I know there are countless other hours he dedicates to helping these youth succeed. His wife and kids even help with the program as well. 

Congratulations to Coach Schimming on a very well-deserved recognition.
