That same season, Scott won the AVP’s Best of the Beach tournament
in his hometown Honolulu topping the sports’ best and
later that season missed qualifying for the Olympics by one spot.
Scott continued to improve, enjoying solid results on tour
with Nick Lucena, Dax Holdren, and others. But it was toward
the end of his career, when Scott partnered with John Hyden,
that he found his greatest success. Scott and Hyden combined
for 19 professional wins and in 2011 and 2012 won an astounding
14 of the 19 domestic tournaments they played in.
Scott was one of finest blockers of his era despite being undersized
for a net player. He combined impeccable blocking technique
with an innate ability to read hitters. Scott was also a
solid ball control player, an excellent transition setter, and a
fierce jump server.
Known for his rigorous training and nutritional regime, Scott
was perhaps the fittest player on tour – a walking advertisement
for why shirts are unnecessary in beach volleyball.
And Scott is one of the only players to retire at the top of his
game, finishing the 2012 season with four consecutive victories
before announcing his retirement.
In 2007, Scott formed his most important partnership when he
married fellow beach professional Rachel Wacholder. Together they
have two children: Koa Daniel Scott 9 and Nila Ashley Scott 7.
Since leaving volleyball He has worked as a Director for USA
Volleyball and Beach National Teams.
Sean Scott is proof that talent alone isn’t enough and that hard
work and effort can earn you a ticket to the Hall of Fame.
