Bill Gosse

From an early age, Bill has been a sports enthusiast. His love for all sports led him to play an active role on all sides, from being a fan, father, player, coach, and even a registered official over the years. Through these numerous experiences, Bill has experienced many good things, and has also seen first-hand the trend of increased pressure, translating into skyrocketing instances of abuse and violence surrounding the games. In fact, never before has the youth sports world needed Christian values, dignity, integrity and sportsmanship like today. Through TeamScore, Bill’s mission is to inspire exceptional sportsmanship in youth sports by helping parents, coaches, officials, athletes and fans to learn Godly respect and encouragement while providing a fun and developmental experience for kids and lifelong memories for all. Therefore, now is the time to bring back the educational benefits of sports and allow kids to learn skills and express themselves in a safe environment. Spanning 10 years, Bill wrote almost 500 sportsmanship columns for Gannett Wisconsin, reaching over 250,000 households on a weekly basis. As an avid writer and teacher on this subject, and leadership in general, Bill brings his experience and passion to educating all parties involved.  Check out his book SCORE: A Guide to Supporting and Instilling Exceptional Sportsmanship and discover how we can make an impact together by joining the mission. Also, visit teamscoreinc.org to see how we can make youth sports fun, friendly again, and that kids will want to come back tomorrow!  Bill resides in Green Bay, Wisconsin with his wife Debbie where they are proud parents of five grown boys.
