Scott Satterfield Wife Beth Satterfield Ran Track At Appalachian State

Scott Satterfield wife Beth Satterfield was a hurdler and ran track at Appalachian State in the early 90s.

It was also in the early 90s that the couple met at Appalachian State University during their first year as college students. At the time, she went by her maiden name Beth Burleson.

The two-star athletes of ASU instantly clicked on their first date leading them to a marriage that has lasted for over two decades.

During her heyday, Beth created havoc for her opponents on the track field. If her boyfriend was trying to make himself the starting choice for the quarterback position, then Beth was breaking records in track. The two were walk-on athletes of ASU.

Beth competed in 400m hurdle races and would reach the finish line in one minute. Maybe if she did take her athletic life seriously, the US could have had an Olympic-level player for them.

But she opted to quit her track life and become a dedicated partner to Scott and was with him in every step of his long journey to reach the top of coaching merits. Beth had an idea of a coach’s life as her father was a Mars Hill football team coach.

She might no longer be an athlete, but she has chosen to contribute to her field differently. The mother of three, Beth, with her husband, supports the organization, A Mountaineer Impact, A Drive For Excellence. 

The organization works to provide scholarships to students interested in football and track and field. A nice nod to the two sports that brought them fame during their college days.

Scott Satterfield and Beth Satterfield have been happily married for the past 26 years. 

The two tied the knot in 1996, right after graduating from ASU. The college lovers turned life partners had a fair share of struggles to reach the point they have attained today. 

But in these 26 years, there wasn’t a single point where the two lacked faith in each other. When Scott was making just $7000 from his coaching duties, Beth was there, and last week when he penned a $3.5 million contract, she knew he deserved every bit of success. 

Often than not, whenever football coaches’ success stories are written, the reason for it all pinpoints their family life. And if the Cincinnati coach didn’t have an understanding partner, things could’ve easily gone south. 

Sacrificing her athlete career to raise their family, relocating with Scott without questioning whether the next job would pan out as they had thought, the back-and-forth commute could’ve readily taken a toll. 

On top of all these sacrifices was only a measly salary to back the family. But maybe Beth knew all the pain in Scott’s early coaching career would make their later lives more vibrant than they looked at the time.

And so it did. The sacrifices Beth put up with haven’t gone unseen by Scott, so the Cincinnati coach always stresses the fact in his interviews. In 2016, he revealed that he paid for the spa treatment of all the ladies at Appachalin.

A hectic schedule takes a toll not only on the coach but on his family as well. Not being present at your kid’s school function, missed holiday plans, and family events can ruin many families.

But Beth was on top of everything going around in her home. She made sure to take care of their three kids and help Scott navigate his schedule. Every marriage needs the couple to work together to make it successful, and they mastered it at the very beginning of theirs. 

When Scott became the head coach at ASU, Beth transformed the atmosphere of college football. With the wives of the coaching staff at ASU, Beth would help deliver meals to the college for their husbands. 

They would also help the parents of the kids and answer all of their queries. Even the new staffs at ASU would say they had never seen such a captivating atmosphere in college football. In an interview, Scott’s spouse said every victory made every sacrifice worth it. 

Scott and Beth are parents to three kids who have all followed in the footsteps of their parents.

Their two sons, Bryce and Isaac, are football players, and their daughter Alli is a volleyball player. Bryce is oldest at age 21 and Alli is the youngest at 18.

1. Bryce Satterfield 

Bryce Satterfield, age 21, was born in 2001 and is the first child of Scott and Beth.

Bryce is a former running back at Watauga High School and currently plays Division I college football. His dreams of becoming a professional football player were almost over as he suffered disastrous injuries in high school. But in 2019, Bryce got a call-up from Western Carolina after improved performances. 

At Watauga, Bryce even took up track and field and participated in a 400-meter race. He was successful in becoming a state finalist.

2. Isaac Satterfield

Isaac Satterfield, age 19, played as a safety for the Christian Academy of Louisville and graduated in 2021.

The proud father, Scott, shared the photo of his son’s graduation ceremony on his Twitter handle. 

He also shared the info that Isaac would be joining him at the University of Louisville, which made it easier for Scott to keep an eye on his son’s progress.

3. Alli Satterfield

Alli Satterfield, age 18, is the youngest of the family and was born in 2004.

The only daughter of the coach and his better half, Alli has remained away from the spotlight. In an interview in 2016, Scott revealed that his daughter played volleyball at her school, but it is yet to be confirmed whether Alli still is playing the sport.
