Mr. Scipio’s objective was always to motivate.
He compared his coaching style to the experience of competing in a relay race, where each person has to run their leg of the race and pass the baton on.
He often encouraged others to remember that no man is a God, and whatever one man can do someone else can do better. It was then up to the individual to rely on themselves, strive harder and do their part.
His habit of giving back to his sport; of helping others build on what was accomplished before them through utilizing their own strengths has left a legacy that is to be admired.
