More About Coach Scott

I received my USATF Level 2 certification in the Throws in 2008 and the Combined Events in 2010. I have been coaching the throwing events (shot put, discus, javelin, & hammer) in track & field since 1996. I currently coach with a summer club team and at local high schools. I also attend different clinics and seminars during the year to maintain my knowledge of these events.

I am willing to work with any athlete aged 12 and older, and of any skill level. I look forward to working with you! I know you'll be throwing far, or farther, in no time!!

I have coached numerous athletes to elite performances. For more than 20 years that our summer club has competed in the AAU Junior Olympics, we've had a thrower on the medal stand, including 3 golds. In addition, I have had a number of high school throwers compete at and earn medals at the district and state level in Pennsylvania, and sectional, state, and meet of champs levels in New Jersey.

Each session starts with a dynamic warm-up, followed by event specific drills. Then throwing. I always encourage questions along the way. This includes by parents if they choose to stay to watch the session. There is a short debriefing at the end of the session and a recap of what drills should be worked on until we meet again.

Make sure you bring fluids.

I set my training up in more of a group style, though each person is registered individually. All athletes get ample coaching whether drills or throwing.

Also, while I have access to implements, it is easier if the athletes can bring their own.

Client Reviews

Good connection for an old man (me) who hasn't thrown in 50 yrs. Will continue training with him.

Coach Scott is one of the best throws coach that we have worked with. I would highly recommend him! Since he has been working with my daughter she has PR’d twice in shotput throws in a very short amount of time! He provides effective and practical feedback. Provides drills and areas to work on outside of sessions to improve form. He is focuses on detailed technique, drills and footwork during sessions which definitely translates to high meet performances.

Coach Scott is one the of the top throws coaches in the Philadelphia area. He is very detailed, knowledgeable, I would highly recommend him.

Coach Scott was fantastic. We were complete beginners, and after just 1 hour, we walked away with a solid set of basic techniques and drills to work on

Both of my boy's had a great experience with Coach Scott as he passed to them some training tips and techniques for them to employ on the field. His feedback reviews were outstanding which helped them both develop. We started late with him in the season and had track meets already scheduled when we started. We are hoping to develop skills and schedule over the off season so they can be ready for next year! I can see that he "knows his stuff" and we are happy that we found him.

Coach Scott is very knowledgeable in the throwing arena. He helped my daughter with her technique for Javelin as this is her first year on track. There were other more experienced Javelin throwers in the group. He made my daughter feel very comfortable even though she was not as experienced as the others. We had a great experience and time would definitely recommend Coach Scott for experienced as well as novice throwers.

Coach Scott is a great coach! He is extremely knowledgeable and provided my daughter with wonderful feedback throughout her sessions. He also provided us with a detailed description of what was worked on after her sessions. We will definitely be back!

Scott is very detailed and will help your athlete better understand and tweak the technical aspects of throwing that will ultimately make them a better thrower. Have been searching for a coach for a while, and have come across a lot of duds, but have nothing but great things to say about Scott. Just wish we would’ve found him sooner!

Thank you Coach Scott for providing Excellent feedback both verbally and in demonstrating technique on the field to our daughter how throws shot put and discus. The after practice written summaries have helped her remember what was said so she can carry the information into individual practices with her school team. What a great experience! Worth every penny!

It was a very informative session. Looking forward to future sessions.

Coach Scott is a fantastic throwing coach! My daughter is a beginner at shot put. His expertise and patient instruction have greatly improved her skills and confidence in this sport. His ability to teach the technical aspects of the sport has greatly improved her shot put in just two sessions. We are so happy that we found Coach Scott on CoachUp and highly recommend him!

Coach Scott helped my daughter add feet to her throw and placed second in the county championships this year. Thank you so much!!

I had my first session with Coach Scott. I was very happy with the advice and drills that he gave me. I am looking forward to my next session.-

Great 2nd session- Noah felt like he came away with some key items to work. At his meet 2 days later, added 20 inches for his PR in shot. Noah is looking forward to continuing to work on his technique to increase leverage and power with Coach Scott.

She had a great first session. Coach Scott worked very closely and efficiently with her. He gave her tips on what she had to work on while at home so she can become a better thrower. We will definitely be booking more sessions with him in the future.

Coach Scott was a great coach. His techniques were very helpful for improving my throwing. I would recommend him as a coach.

Coach Scott did a great job of checking my technique in discus and shot put and making corrections to improve my form. He has also provided initial training on the javelin. He takes the time to explain the mechanics of the movements and is patient. I will be signing up for additional sessions today!

Coach Scott was an unbelievable coach. After 4 short weeks he showed her how to do more than anyone ever has. Can't wait till next season to see how much more she learns. Thank you Coach Scott.

Coach Scott was excellent. He pays special attention to detail. He breaks down each step for the athletes. His teaching style is easy to understand, and he makes sure the athletes understand before moving on. He would be an asset to any athlete from beginner to elite.

Mu daughter had been working with Coach Scott for 2 seasons now. Working with Coach Scott allows her to gain more experience and 1-1 time then she may get with her school coach. She has gained distance and knowledge. My daughters hopes to make it to States this year ,but for sure next year. Thank you Coach Scott.

My daughter who is in junior high just had her first session with coach Scott. He is very knowledgeable in the area of throws. He was able to pinpoint areas in which my daughter needed more help and guided her along the way to make necessary corrections in her shot put technique. She came home very motivated and excited for her next track meet. Planning on scheduling more sessions with Coach Scott!

Scott provided a quick and through analysis of my son’s current technique and offered specific improvements to his body mechanics motions. Plan to continue sessions with Scott to continually improve technique in Javelin and Shot Put in 2019.

Our experience with Scott has been great so far. He was super flexible about setting up a time. My son threw his freshman year in high school. In the 90 minute session with Scott, my son was literally throwing farther in shot and disc than he did this past season and was also throwing the javelin. I highly recommend Scott!

Coach, Tommy loved the session he had with you. He is already using the techniques that you taught him. He is looking forward to scheduling additional sessions with you! Thanks!!

Coach Scott was a great coach, very encouraging and extremely helpful! definitely seems like he knows what he is doing and very dedicated to the sport! My daughter, Mikayla, enjoyed the session and was impressed by his knowledge. 100% going back for more coaching with him!!

Great coach! Very knowledgeable and I improved my distances in my meet a couple days after my session with him!

Our daughter has had one session with Coach Scott. He was very informative on shot put technique and has already helped greatly...so much we just signed up for additional sessions. Personalized one on one instruction-highly recommended

Coach Scott was AWESOME!!!
Got soooo much out of it after just one session.

Scott has been great with my son David. Two lessons and his shot put skills have already improved.

Coach Scott is a great coach. He is knowledgeable, encouraging and motivating. Highly recommended!

Coach Scott is knowledgeable, dedicated, and has a way of uncomplicating technique for inexperienced throwers. I have been throwing for 3 years but coach Scott improved my throwing technique almost immediately. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Coach Scott is an excellent teacher. He breaks a complicated throw into small steps that make it easier to learn. As a senior, I really appreciate that! Fun lessons.

My son has improved with both shot and disc in only a few lessons- my son really looks forward to the training coach provides

Our son is new to the shot and we wanted to get him started on the right foot from a technique standpoint. We got exactly what we had hoped for and will continue to work with Coach Scott.

Very knowledgeable!! Would highly recommend!!

After my son was doing relatively well with very little coaching in his school, I sought out a private coach. I found Scott through Coachup. After the very first session, my son's throw went 10 feet further than it usually does. Scott instructs step by step without overwhelming my son. He gave him drills to work on between throwing sessions as well. I would highly recommend Scott for anyone seeking assistance.

Coach Scott is a great coach. My daughter could not get enough of his suggestions. She is extremely motivated and excited to continue working with Coach Scott.

Scott was a tremendous help to my daughter, who was just beginning to be involved in throwing competition.

Coach Scott is great. I'm a Masters athlete, and he was very patient, and explained the progression very well. Highly recommend.

Coach Scott is an excellent throws coach. Very patient, and very knowledgeable. You will see great results with him as your coach. If you are looking for a throws coach, he is the one you want, hands down.

Thanks Coach Scott! Matthew feels lucky to have connected with such a supportive and knowledgeable coach. It is amazing how much Matthew learned from a single session. He can't wait to work with Coach Scott again.

During my time with Scott as my personal shot put trainer, I have learned what it takes to become a great shot putter and athlete. He is extremely knowledgeable of the body and how it is supposed to move in the circle. HIs coaching methods are bar none. He not only explains what to do very well, he also will put on a pair of throwing shoes and do it better than anybody I know. It is because of his coaching that I am so deeply appreciative and understanding of the sport.
