Get to know Scott
Master the Behavioral Game
You've learned the physical game. Then, you learned the mental game. Why aren't you the best yet? Is there more? Sports is all about behavior. Have you mastered the behavioral game? Dr. Scott is a worldwide expert in Sports Behavior Analysis, a field that meshes quantitative analytics with psychology for Behavior Analysis (a science of behavior). As an expert in human learning and performance, Dr. Scott understands how skill and performance becomes refined. Got a team that needs to get better, but changing players is not an option? Sometimes, you just need the players you have to get better. I can help players, coaches, and front offices with 1:1 individualized skill refinement programs, the technology of coaching, and organizational behavior management for team-wide culture assessment and interventions.
How I can help you improve
Using the science of behavior:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Mindfulness Sports Performance Enhancement (MSPE)
Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr)
A typical training session
Assessment prior to creating behavior change programs.
Discussing data and visually displaying progress so the athlete can see it, psychoeducation on behavioral principles, task analysis and component analysis of behaviors involved in sport, quantitative analysis of performance an applying formula to individualize interventions to maximize progress, mindfulness programs that include scripts for improving attentional focus, training and supervision on the use of semi-log charts to assess performance through fluency measures (precision training), training on assessing performance through mastery criteria, training on the assessment of the criteria set for mastery, acceptance and commitment training involves assessment and training on 6 behaviors, self-monitoring and contingency management, and other behavior analytic interventions to improve performance. Analogies to explain it all and make it make sense to you.
Career & accomplishments
I've worked with children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual developmental disorder, mental health diagnoses (ADHD, MDD, ODD, OCD, Borderline, Schizophrenia, etc...) and acquired brain injury (concussion, ischemia).
My research was on behavioral applications to improve the performance of competing athletes and I've been fortunate enough to work with some athletes and performers experiencing performance anxiety. I am most interested in improving your performance on and off the field using the data-based science of behavior, hot and cold streaks, and "the yips".
Best coach I ever had
Dr. Phil Hineline as he really understood what drove behavior
What athletes & parents should know
I am most interested in those that want to push the boundaries of performance and be the best of the best. However, I am also here to help when motivation is not where it needs to be. I will not force you or your child athlete to like a sport, but if you are experiencing "burnout" or "plateaus", I can help with that too.
Data recording is a must. I will not work with clients anymore that will not give me data. We both need solid, quantitative evidence of progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
