Cycling has always been a huge part of my life and In 2010, after four years, I achieved an Honours Degree in Physiology & Sports Science from the University of Glasgow. During my time as a student I specialised in cycling performance and nutrition.

I was involved in the latest research on professional cyclists with access to world class laboratory equipment and software. I have successfully raced at a national level achieving top 10s in road racing and hill climbs. More Recently I have won the largest Ultra-Race in the UK (Pan Celtic 2024) and set an FKT on the "Yorkshire Beast 2024". In 2025 I placed just outside the top 10 at the Mallorca 312 and finished the Fred Whitton in 3rd place with a time of 5:55.
 
From there experiences I have a unique perspective to understand and help each individual cyclist with different demands and goals. After graduating I decided to take my teaching from the classroom to the road, and pursue a career based around my passion and share my knowledge.

I founded Dave Scott Coaching in 2017 and since then it has been my full time career and I have never looked back. I take a special interest in health & nutrition as I believe it is a hugely important aspect of overall fitness. My personal approach to coaching has attracted clients from throughout the UK. I endeavour to provide in-depth feedback and create a unique client:coach relationship.

Today I still race regularly, focusing mainly on the British Hill Climb scene, but I also dabble in the odd ultra event! I believe in practicing what I preach and I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds. I understand each individuals complex requirements and apply this to their personalised plans. But don't just take my word for it...see what some of my clients think here!
