Our Story
Why we do what we do
I'm Scott Pearson
Ex British Cycling Strength Coach
My background
I’m probably most well-known for my work with British Cycling, coaching Olympians and Paralympians in preparations for the games in Rio, as well as my work with Sale Sharks between 2003 and 2009, during which we won the European Challenge Cup and the Guinness Premiership.
These roles and others gave me with the opportunity to work with world-class athletes and coaches as well as academy athletes and junior coaches in the planning and delivering of a wide range of programs; focusing on strength, power, speed, endurance, recovery, weight-management and nutrition, to minimise injuries and maximise athletic performance.

What did I learn?
It’s not what you know, it’s how you deliver that knowledge that makes the difference between an average coach and a successful one!
Writing the best training plans is all well and good, but if people don’t buy into what you’re doing, then it’s worthless.
Working in sport for so long has meant I’ve had to change, evolve and adapt my coaching style to get the best out of the different types of people I’ve helped along the way.

My philosophy
I believe in progression not perfection; embracing the grind and enjoying the journey, because it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.
More than 15 years working in elite sporting organisations has shown me that long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity every time.
All the champions I’ve ever coached have said the same thing; what they remember most is the struggle to reach the top, there are no shortcuts, no quick fixes and that’s a beautiful thing!
My responsibility
My objective is for you to be faster, fitter and stronger; achieving your goals and doing what you once couldn’t.
My duty is to provide consistently high levels of integrity and simplicity within my coaching, programming and education; recognising that you are an individual and what works for one may not work for another.
Your responsibility is to understand why, ask questions, to work hard and recover well!
The purpose of my training programmes isn’t to make you tired, it’s to make you better.
