As Commanding Officer, Scotty led a team of recovery specialists who were responsible for rebuilding the lives of hundreds of battle-scarred, physically and mentally broken, injured service people across all 4 Armed Forces. A World Record breaker, he was selected as an Olympic Flag Bearer at the London 2012 Olympic Games. As Head of Performance for all 6500 Commandos, he has since worked closely alongside multiple elite teams who went on to win gold medals at Olympic, World Cup and European championships.
As an advisor to the FA, Scotty inspired Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane, and the England Football Team to develop their culture through innovative leadership and team cohesion training, which saw them come together and perform when the pressure was on. Known as “Gareth’s Secret Weapon,” a term coined by TV Presenter Lorraine Kelly, Scotty has built a strong international reputation for inspiring others to reach their full potential.
In 2018, he was voted the most inspirational serviceman across the entire Armed Forces community and received a National Award. Scotty’s incredibly compelling story is filled with exceptional stories of the power of human inspiration.
