Coach Scott has been in the practice of strength and speed development for over 10 years. Coach Scott is a specialist in bio-mechanics, energy system efficiency and sports nutrition. Scott continues to develop his personal strength and the strength of all of his athletes through a disciplined and analytical approach - boosting their performance to earn starting positions, gain scholarships and provide the opportunity to compete at the professional level.

In addition to his work as an athletic performance specialist, Coach Scott has competed in a wide range of sporting events throughout his athletic career from winning championships in football and earning titles in track & field and martial arts.

Scott played wide receiver for Kean University in Union, NJ starting wide receiver as a true freshman. Scott transitioned to Orange County, California in 1998 continuing his education as a Strength & Speed Coach along with many other athletic endeavors. For a 3 year span beginning in 1999, Scott was brought into many camps in the NFL, CFL, AFL and the XFL. And as a result from his consistent display of speed - clocking in a consistent 4.3 to 4.4 second 40-yd dash and remarkable power - pressing 30 reps in the 225 lb bench press, he was placed in the draft with a select few players down from over 1000 recruits.

From 1999 to 2006, Scott became an expert in multiple styles of martial arts including - 2 forms of Kempo, Jiu jitsu and Aikido. Scott now integrates this knowledge into his study of human movement and power.

In 2003, Scott began competing as a strength athlete in multiple disciplines. In his very first Strongman pro qualifier in May 2004, Scott competed in California’s Strongest Man amongst many of the best strength athletes the country has ever known and became one of the first Professional Lightweight Strongman to ever exist in the U.S. Scott has been consistently ranked in the Professional top 10 in the country and ranked as high as 4th in 2006. Located in Costa Mesa California in Orange County, Scott is the longest active Professional Strongman in the L.A. and Orange County area. He integrates strongman training into all of his athletes programs as he feels this style of training is excellent for building 3-dimensional strength and the type of conditioning that most anaerobic athletes will see unmatched results from.

In addition to Strongman, Scott has also competed in the Scottish Highland Games - with multiple overall wins in the Orange County Highland Games and the Queen Mary Highland Games.

Scott is a life-time drug-free athlete. It is a daunting task in the modern competitive arena, for an honest athlete to compete head-to-head with the truly genetically gifted and pharmaceutically-enhanced athletes of today. Leveling the playing field takes an extraordinary knowledge of human body and the way it adapts to stress.
