EP 020: Scott Reid: Making an impact on the world and building strong ethics that lead to success

Scott is an expert in strength and conditioning, he also coaches functional nutrition.

His passion for everything sports orientated was evident from a young age, as a young man he captained the school football team whilst representing his county on several occasions, he also trained at pro level with Brighton & Hove Albion and competed at county level in track and field.

Scott continued to play semi pro football into his mid twenties but no one could have expect what would come next.

Although training had been part of his life since a child it wasn’t until the year 2000 that Scott started to hit the free weights with a vengeance, it soon became apparent that he was much stronger than his size would have suggested and he made strength gains in leaps and bounds. When Scott retired from football it allowed him to take his training to the next level and in 2004 he started training for Strongman, he competed many times in Europe and Scandinavia before winning Britain’s Strongest Man U105kg in 2007 also representing Great Britain at the 2007 IFSA Worlds Strongest Man U105kg which was held in China.

Scott’s success continued in 2008 where he competed all over Eastern Europe before going on to win Britain’s Strongest Man for a second time in 2008.

Strongman had taken its toll though and Scott was struggling with a bad back injury which ultimately forced him to step away from competition and instead use his knowledge and hard earned skills to train others. Scott now coaches MMA Athletes, Strongmen, and Cross-fitters to name but a few, helping them to implement a well structured diet and become more powerful explosive versions of themselves. Scott also trains in BJJ and MMA himself as he says it keeps him humble!

Scott’s passion for understanding the human body and how to optimise every aspect of it has driven him to study under legends such as Paul Chek. He now uses those skills to help Focus Performance “ the company he founded “ with the research and development of their ever growing product range.

If you would like help or advice with any aspect of your training or nutrition please do not hesitate to get in contact with Scott.
