Nobody ever accuses interior D-Linemen of great athleticism, but Scott Shultz proved the big men can make some waves.
The Regina Optimist Dolphin Swim Club holding their 3rd annual Queen City Swim Challenge on Sunday. The feature event was certainly the Cannonball Competition, loaded up with local athletes, including Shultz.
"I was the chubby kid with the shirt on," Shultz told me about his days at the pool in Moose Jaw where her perfected the "Gain-Knife". A reverse flip off the springboard into a jack-knife can-opener that creates a huge splash and an even bigger roar from the crowd.
The entire even is run as a fundraiser for the swim club along with a portion of the money raised going to Jesse's Journey. So while the entire day is based on fun, Shultz sees the use of this 'training' as a benefit to his job. "If you see me doing backflips over offensive linemen this year, you'll know where it came from."
In the land of the Green and White, Shultz is truly a colorful character when it comes to embracing the community. What a guy and what a flip!!!
If you want to catch Shultz's 'Gain-Knife", tune into Global Sports Sunday at 6 & 11, or catch it on the Plays of The Week, Tuesday night at 11pm.
