I was a member of the Westerville Central High School bowling team during my four years of high school from the winter of 2010 through spring 2014 where Julie Wells was my head coach. It was the best experience to be a part of Coach Well’s team. I came to the team with no experience as bowler, only a desire to learn and be part of a group. Not only did Coach Wells teach me to bowl and give it my best effort, she also encouraged me to be a better student and person.
Coach Wells supported me during very hard times involving a significant personal injury and then disability. She made me feel like a part of the team even though I could not physically bowl during a season. Coach Wells made a place for me to continue to be a member of the team by mentoring the junior varsity team. Her encouragement was very important to me as I worked through re-learning every day activities on to again bowling.
I have a great respect for how Coach Wells runs her team. She is able to
encourage students to find the best in themselves and the importance in working
together as a team with one purpose rather than individual ones.
I wouldn’t trade the experience I had with being part of Coach Well’s team for
anything.

When I think of my years on the Westerville Central bowling team from 2008 to
2011, one word comes to mind—greatness. That’s what our team strived for and
that’s the standard our coach held us to. Julie Wells is the most exceptional
coach I’ve ever known. She expects greatness from all of her bowlers, no matter
how inexperienced you are. Julie has a firm, but caring demeanor that makes her
bowlers strive for excellence and better themselves and their team. When I look
back to our biggest tournaments and matches, I remember her calm voice coaching
me through my toughest games. Not only did Julie push me toward greatness, she
also made me see the fun that bowling is supposed to be. I am truly honored to
know Julie as a person and to have had her as a coach.
