About Scott

Hi, I’m Scott McDonald—an acrobatic coach known for creative, step-by-step training that makes learning safe, fun, and approachable. I’ve worked with everyone from complete beginners to Olympic athletes and Cirque du Soleil performers. Primarily self-taught through years of trial and error, I coach using the same method that took me from gym floors to stages around the world.

TESTiMONIALS

Scott is one of the most fun, creative, and open-minded coaches I’ve had the chance to work with. He’s incredibly supportive and never shy about asking around for new tips or techniques. With his industry experience, he knows exactly how to challenge athletes, even at a high level, while keeping the training process engaging and inspiring.

I worked with Scott in a 360 dive roll workshop and have to say his expertise is one of a kind. It’s clear that his drills are developed from experience and the struggles that he faced himself while learning those skills. Look for Scott if you want a coach that is equal parts knowledgeable, patient, and adaptable!

Scott's teaching style breaks down complex movements into short, easy to digest chunks. I made more progress on acrobatics after a two hour workshop than I had in years of trying it on my own. There's no substitute for Scott's live teaching and feedback customized to your body shape and capabilities.

We continued scheduling weekly one-hour sessions, and by the end of summer, our son advanced two competitive levels for the upcoming season! Not only did Scott help Jacob sharpen his skills, he also helped him build consistency and confidence.
