Tim McCord was a 34 year physical education instructor in the Titusville Area School District until his 2012 retirement. In addition to his teaching duties, Tim was the Health and Physical Education Department Chair as well as the Director of the Titusville PE4life Academy Training Center. He was named the 2003 PSAHPERD Health Educator of the Year, 2007 President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Community Leadership Award winner and 2012 PSAHPERD Coach of the Year in the state of Pennsylvania.
Tim served as a coach in the Titusville schools his entire career and did so until retiring from the Varsity Golf coach position in 2014. He has served as an assistant coach for both Boys and Girls Basketball and Girls Track, 5 years as the Varsity Boys Basketball Coach and recently completed his 32nd season coaching the golf team.
During his tenure as Varsity Golf coach, the Rockets captured 13 league/region championships, including the last 8 in a row. In addition, the Rockets also won two District X Team Championships and two PIAA Sub regional Championships giving the Titusville Rockets the opportunity to twice participate in the PIAA State Team Championships. Over 120 Titusville golfers qualified for the District X tournament with 8 Rockets moving forward to the PIAA State tournament under Tim's leadership. Tim also was the coach in 2013 when his son, Matt became the first male District X Individual Champion in Titusville High School history.
Many Rocket golfers who played for Tim have used their high school experience as a stepping stone into the golf profession. Tim has had the honor of coaching a high school golfer who later went on to capture the NCAA Division III Championship (presently is Head Professional at Pinehurst Resort) and another who has been named one of Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers (presently is Director of Instruction at Oakmont Country Club).Â
