Welcome to ESA, Coach Pearson!
Jeremy Sisemore has over 25+ years in the Diving community both as
an athlete and as a coach. He grew up in New Caney, TX and was a
State Finalist, ultimately gaining a College Scholarship to dive at
the University of Missouri (2 years Big 8, 2 years Big 12). At
Mizzou, Jeremy was the Diver of the Year two out of his four years
as a student-athlete. Jeremy was Big 12 Academic All-American and
qualified for the Big 12 Finals several times and also the NCAA
Zone's as a springboard and platform diver. In Jeremy's Jr./Sr.
year at Mizzou he was the Head Diving Coach at Hickman H.S. in
Columbia, MO where he coached 2 State Champions and a State Record
Holder (Aaron Ashworth and Ashley Rubenstein). Those 2 divers went
on to dive at Alabama and Auburn respectively. Ashley later earned
a 4th place finish at the Olympic Trials on 3M Springboard (an
Olympic Alternate).
After graduating from Mizzou, Jeremy was a Collegiate Diving
Coach for Saint Louis University (Division I, Conference USA) and
earned Conference Diving Coach of the Year honors. In St. Louis,
Jeremy was one of the coaches of Clayton Diving Alliance, a US
Diving Program hosted at the Washington University (Div. III) pool.
CDA coached the Wash U. divers for free in exchange for pool-time
to coach our Age-Group program. Many of our divers went on to win
state championships in Missouri, qualify for state, and earn
college scholarships to Mizzou, Stanford, Princeton and other
collegiate programs. Our program consisted of over 40 divers from
Age 6 to 21.
In 2006, Jeremy moved back home to the Kingwood/Atascocita Area to
start a business with Erek Gerth (husband to Je' Janes of Kingwood
and sister of Char Janes). Jeremy is married and has 3 kids, all of
which are actively involved in Swimming for ESA (year-round) and
for Walden (summer league). Though he hasn't been coaching diving
for a few years, he's been motivated to consider starting a Diving
Program in the Humble/KW/New Caney Area with a true belief that our
kids should have an opportunity for expert coaching without having
to travel to The Woodlands. Our divers should give our swim teams
an equal chance to compete with the best programs in the State of
TX and give our kids/parents an opportunity to earn college
scholarships.
