Meet Your Speaker
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, former player, coach, and even a registered official over the years. Through these various experiences, Bill has experienced many good things, and has also seen first-hand how the instances of abuse and violence surrounding the game has skyrocketed, and has set out to make a change.
Through TeamScore, Bill’s mission is to reintroduce Godly sportsmanship into the many areas that make up youth sports. We see increased pressure to perform and decreasing respect for all involved in sports. Now is the time to join together to change all aspects of youth sports for the better; to bring back the fun, encouraging, educational benefits of sports and allow kids to learn skills and express themselves in a safe environment. As an avid writer and teacher on this subject, Bill brings his experience and passion to educating parents, players, coaches, officials, and fans on the importance of Godly sportsmanship and respect. Check out his book SCORE: A Guide to Supporting and Instilling Exceptional Sportsmanship and discover how we can make a Kingdom impact together by joining the mission. Bill resides in Green Bay, Wisconsin with his wife Debbie where they are proud parents of five grown boys.
“An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.”
