"He’s helping me become the best version of myself, and I feel like for the first time in my coaching career I'm not chasing something. While I can't necessarily quantify that, I do know I'm heading into the season the most relaxed I've ever been, and I'm able to simply focus on doing the best job I can, both on and off of the ice."

"There's not a lot in a coaches day to day life that they do for themselves . . . I spent years filling up others from an empty tank myself. Creating the time to add a support system for personal growth for ourselves is difficult, but once you start meeting with Scott, that's the last thing you'll move on your schedule!"
Dave Flint - Northeastern University Head Women's Hockey Coach

Tim Santoro - Former NC State University Head Women's Soccer Coach
"When I met Scott it was very apparent how committed he is to helping and educating the coaches, athletes and administrators he comes in contact with. Over the past three years Scott has become a great resource and has helped me reach new levels as a coach. I never realized the benefit of having a support system until I met Scott and I am very grateful our paths crossed."

“The pressures of managing young people and achieving success, on top of personal stress, is daunting. Purscial has been career changing from a professional perspective and in helping to keep balance day-to-day. Coaches are people too and need direction and Scott does that."
What We Do
It's best summarized as essentially a caddy for coaches, administrators, and executives to help lighten the load and maximize performance. Coaches, administrators, and executives are facing greater challenges and more pressure than ever, and going at it alone has become incredibly difficult. You can have someone in your corner who:
- Is not connected to your school, organization, or family (and has walked in the shoes of a D1 coach and athletic administrator), so is in a unique position to listen without judgment, have honest dialogue, as well as provide honest feedback without reservation
- Is focused on building a long-term relationship
- Provides a space to talk through, reflect upon, and navigate decisions, challenges, frustrations, potential ideas, processing feedback, as well as conversations with student-athletes, staff, and other relevant parties to maximize effective communication
- Helps you engage in a process of self-exploration / self-awareness, gaining perspective, priority alignment, maximizing efficiency, and / or enhancing focus and overall well-being
- Serves as a professional development resource through reading / listening to and discussing relevant books, podcasts, and videos as well as be a constant source for development and growth
Purscial / Scott Fitzgerald
You won't find the word Purscial in the dictionary, rather it's a word a good friend of mine and I came up with based off how we look to approach life, which is the "Pursuit of Something Special". The 'special' is uniquely defined by the individual, and for me it is trying to have as many substantive relationships, experiences, and conversations as possible, while always remaining curious and keeping my mind open to learning. Making the transition to this type of work full-time allows me to utilize a lifetime of learning to simply be in a position to help.
Scott Fitzgerald - I'm a husband and father of both a son and a daughter. I have 20+ years experience in coaching at the NCAA D1, D2 and D3 levels, as well as 20 years experience in athletic administration. In my free time, I spend as much time as I can with family, as well as outdoors in the mountains and lakes of New Hampshire.
