About Dr Dawn Scott
Dr Dawn Scott is a world-renowned performance strategist whose work has shaped some of the most successful eras in women’s football. For more than two decades, she has operated at the intersection of science, sport, and leadership, guiding teams, athletes, and organisations to perform under pressure while building cultures that last.
Her philosophy is simple: true high performance is never achieved at the expense of well-being. Dawn is known globally for creating environments where athletes and staff feel supported, empowered, and trusted, and where data-informed frameworks and people-first values work hand in hand. Her athlete-centred approach has influenced national teams, professional clubs, federations, Olympic programmes, and youth pathways across the world.
Dawn’s impact is most widely recognised through her transformative work in women’s football. As a core architect of the U.S. Women’s National Team’s dominance, including Olympic gold in 2012 and back-to-back FIFA Women’s World Cup victories in 2015 and 2019 — she played a pivotal role in developing systems, monitoring strategies, recovery protocols, and lifecycle-specific support that set new global standards. She has also led performance programmes with the England Lionesses, advised FIFA, and worked with Inter Miami CF, Washington Spirit and other leading organisations committed to advancing the women’s game.
A lifelong learner with a deep belief in innovation, Dawn continually pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in performance science. Her work is rooted in bravery, curiosity, and integrity, challenging outdated systems, asking better questions, and designing solutions that elevate both the person and the player.
Today, she continues to influence the future of women’s sport, championing holistic, evidence-informed approaches that prioritise culture, care, and long-term success. Whether she is advising global leaders, supporting elite athletes, or speaking on the international stage, Dawn’s mission remains constant: to change the game by putting people at the heart of performance.
