“I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of Scott. I started training with him in 7th grade and right from the beginning, he instilled proper technique and mechanics into my form that helped maximize my potential. The training sessions always leave you more prepared to compete whether in a camp or game setting, and I truly believe that many of my performances can be credited to the tough sessions that Scott has. He helped me all throughout the college recruiting processes giving me connections and tips on how to engage with coaches. He isn’t only just a good coach but also a great person.” - Joe McFadden
