"Dad! I kept my eyes on her feet just like Scott told me to do. It worked, I stole the ball. I couldn't believe it!"
"You know mom, I'm really starting to think about college!"
Scott Savor is responsible for initiating both of the above remarks.
Scott is a Human Performance Specialist, who works out of Sport's + Field's, Athletic Performance Center. We are sending Carla to work with Scott to improve her basketball skills. We think we're getting more.
Victoria, our older daughter started playing basketball in 1991. Rosemary and I have been around girl's basketball coaches ever since, including the prestigious Trinity High School teams of the mid-nineties. With the exception of crossing paths with Pat Summitt, at Trinity while she was recruiting for the University of Tennessee, we have never met anyone who knows basketball like Scott Savor.
One of Scott's main performance enhancing philosophies is that over ninety percent of an athlete's potential for improvement can be found above the neck. If you are a parent, you don't even have to wonder how refreshing this point of view is, you instinctively feel it.
Although Scott trains professionals, he is still taking on high school and college athletes. If you or your sons/daughters are interested in one, free complimentary workout with Scott, please contact me by e-mail and I'll hook you up. david(dot)rothacker(at)gmail(dot)com. Please contact me if you'd like to help your student athlete improve more than their vertical jump, say like their desire to go to college!!
Scott's credentials.
Update 8/3/2009 - In a mind blowing twist of fate, Scott left Tampa, Florida, last week to work with Pat Summitt and other coaches in a strength and conditioning role at UT. I am sure that UT put in careful diligence in selecting Scott. They are well aware of the wisdom that he brings above and beyond the science required of his position. They are well aware of his coaching philosophies and his passion to help develop young people's minds. I know they know, but they don't quite know how much they really are getting with Scott. Please allow me to paint a more clear picture:
