Bring a World Champion to Your School
Your dancers get both sides of what it takes to compete at the highest level: the dancing, and the mind behind it — from a dancer who went from one of the last competitors in his age group to Senior Men’s World Champion in under five years.

For Irish dancers, I coach both sides: the dancing and the mind behind it.
Three ways to bring Scott to your school
Whether your school needs a fresh voice in the room, a group session on the mental game, or a virtual series building toward a major — there’s a format that fits.
Irish Dance Workshops — the dancing
In-person technique and choreography at your school.
Mental Performance Workshops — the mind
An in-person group mindset session: nerves, confidence, mistakes, and competition prep.
Virtual Group Sessions — the mind over Zoom
A single session, or a series building toward the Oireachtas or Worlds.
Irish Dance Workshops — the dancing
Sometimes just having a different voice in the room is enough to make a difference. Scott brings new tips and tricks, reinforces what teachers are always asking their dancers to do, and has a particular gift for connecting with struggling dancers — he was older when he ‘figured it out,’ so he understands what it feels like to be the dancer who isn’t getting it yet. That same visit can cover choreography: new steps, tweaks or additions to existing material, and show routines for performances. And for dancers working on stage presence — for competition, for a career in Irish dance shows, or for St. Patrick’s Day performances that bring new families to your school — Scott draws on years performing with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. Scott is not a registered T.C.R.G., and he has written approval to work with any school as much or as little as needed, without creating any associations or conflicts for everyone involved.
Mental Performance Workshops — the mind
The best athletes and teams in the world prioritize mental performance training. Dancers should too. This is the group version of the work Scott does one-on-one: a session on what actually happens in a dancer’s head on competition day — nerves before going on, confidence after a bad round, bouncing back from mistakes instead of letting one mistake take the whole dance, and preparing for a major the way champions prepare, not just hoping it goes well. Scott’s own story is the proof of concept: he went from one of the last competitors in his age group to World Champion in under five years, not because his choreography changed, but because how he thought changed. The gap between where a dancer is and where they want to be is rarely talent. It’s what’s happening in their head — and that can be trained.
Virtual Group Sessions — the mind over Zoom
Nothing takes the place of teaching in person — but a virtual session makes it easy to work together from anywhere in the world. Book a single group mindset session for your school, or a series that builds toward the Oireachtas or Worlds, so dancers arrive at the major having already trained the mental side, not just the steps.
Bring both sides to your school.
Your dancers already put in the hours on the steps. Give them the mindset to match — and a coach who has lived both sides of that journey, from last in his age group to World Champion.
