About Coach

Scott is a knowledgeable and confident coach who helps athletes understand their training, move with purpose, and get the most out of every class.

Why I Coach

I coach because I want our members to leave class with more than just a good workout. I want them to have the knowledge, understanding, and confidence to make the most of their hour in the gym. It is important to me that athletes understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it. That understanding helps them train with more purpose and gives them confidence that their consistency will pay off over time.

What You Can Expect From Me

‍
Whether it is your first class or your thousandth, you can expect a workout that is confidently led from start to finish.

You should never have to guess what comes next or wonder which option is right for you. I make it a priority to clearly explain the workout, offer appropriate scaling and movement options, and provide tips that help each athlete achieve the intended goal of the day.

‍
My goal is for every athlete to feel prepared, supported, and confident in what they are doing.

‍
Experience and Credentials

‍
I have seven years of experience coaching barbell movements and earned my USA Weightlifting Level 1 certification in 2019. I have also competed in Olympic weightlifting, which has become one of my primary areas of expertise.

Over nearly five years of coaching CrossFit, I have continued to expand my knowledge by studying training literature, learning from other coaches, and working with athletes of different experience levels.

‍
Outside the Gym

‍
Outside the gym, I enjoy training Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, fishing, diving, and traveling.

Each of those hobbies is made better by the fitness I have built through training at Maverick. Just as meaningful are the relationships I have developed here. The friendships and sense of community Maverick creates extend far beyond the gym wall.

Turning Point

My teenage years were filled with mischief, a disregard for school, a disregard for authority, and general juvenile delinquency. At 20, I realized I was on a path to nowhere and I wanted to change. So I got a gym membership and decided to become something else. I changed my paradigm and was granted a chance to be better at living. I put merit into health, strength, education, and fitness. Now it’s been 6 years and I couldn’t be happier I made the decision to change.

Motivation & Passion

I absolutely love coaching the Olympic lifts. There is something special about learning how to do them right. I am filled with pride and joy when I get across to someone when I make a connection with my cues, and all the pieces fall into place. It’s something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life, regardless of the pay.
