As a school athlete and member of Bromsgrove and Redditch Athletics Club, he excelled in the 800m, 1500m, and cross country events, inspired by legends Steve Cram, Sebastian Coe, and Steve Ovett.

His passion for sport led him to earn a degree in Sports Coaching and excel in cyclocross, competing nationally for nearly 15 years, including a 34th-place finish at the Cyclocross Masters World Championships in Mol, Belgium.

Running has always been integral to Scott’s training and has become his primary focus in recent years. He now aims to test himself in 5k, 10k, and half marathon events, ultimately aspiring to complete a full marathon.
