About SSE: Our Shared Passion, My Journey, and Our Vision for the Future
A Lifetime in Motion
Movement isn’t just my career—it’s my lifestyle. From my earliest memories to my life today, I have lived and breathed athletics. I am a firm believer in practicing what I preach; whether I’m competing in a roller or dek hockey game, hitting the pavement for a long run, spending the afternoon on my skateboard, or maintaining my daily fitness routine, I am always in motion. I know firsthand the mental clarity of a morning workout and the pure joy of a team victory, and I bring that same high-level energy to every student I mentor.
20 Years of Dedication
Beyond my own training, I am a family man and a veteran educator with 20 years of experience dedicated to shaping young lives. My journey has taken me through the Boys & Girls Clubs and academic tutoring, but my heart has always belonged to adventure and physical education.
For the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of instructing for Odyssey Adventure Club. It was there that I spent my summers guiding children through the mastery of:
Water Sports: Kayaking, Paddleboarding, Surfing, and Snorkeling.
Outdoor Skills: Rock Climbing and a wide array of specialized PE games.
This experience taught me a vital lesson: Children thrive when they are challenged in an environment built on trust.
The Vision for SSE: Elevating the Standard
During my time at Old Kings Elementary School (OKES), I watched outside companies come in to use our facilities to teach sports. I knew the students, I knew the space, and I knew I could take after-school athletics to a much higher level.
I created Scott’s Sports and Entertainment (SSE) LLC to provide a "club-style" experience that is elite in quality but inclusive in spirit. My vision was to build a program where experienced players can showcase their skills, while newcomers can be introduced to the game, learn the fundamentals, and build their confidence without feeling intimidated.
The SSE Difference: People You Trust
The secret to our success is the community we have already built within the OKES walls. I didn’t do this alone; I enlisted the best people I know—my fellow PE teachers and school staff.
Expert Coaching: Our programs are run by professional PE teachers who already have a rapport with your children.
Real Relationships: By having campus staff step in as coaches and refs, I’ve watched students build stronger bonds with their educators that carry back into the classroom.
Ultimate Convenience: I wanted to remove the "cross-town commute" for parents. Offering these leagues right at the school means you can pick your child up at a later time, knowing they are receiving quality training from the same people who see them every single day.
More Than Just a Scoreboard
At SSE, we don't focus solely on winning. We focus on "Athletic Self-Esteem." Creating these clubs and clinics has allowed me to strengthen my relationships with my students and build a level of confidence in them that I’m sure they didn't have before. Working closely with my colleagues on something outside the standard school day has also built a stronger, more unified bond among us as professionals.
The Next Chapter
These "micro-leagues" are just the start. They’ve opened the door to exactly what I want to offer the students of OKES and the surrounding community. We recently implimented and ran two weeks of PE summer camps and a summer indoor hockey league, both with an incredible amount of parent and community support.
I am truly grateful for the support and trust I have already received from the OKES families. I look forward to growing and continuing this journey with all of you.
With sincerity and gratitude,
Jan-Michael Scott Founder, Scott’s Sports and Entertainment LLC
