"Scott Anderson played a vital role during my time working with development squads at Aberdeen FC. His ability to support players across all stages, from academy level through to senior football, made him an invaluable part of the coaching setup.
He had a strong understanding of what each player needed to progress, and he always created a positive environment that allowed them to improve while being challenged. Scott was consistent, reliable, and had a way of working that helped players feel both supported and motivated.
With SA Performance Training, Scott is now offering that same quality coaching to players looking to push on in their careers. Whether they are young prospects or experienced professionals, they will be learning from someone who knows how to develop players the right way."

"I had the pleasure of working with Scott Anderson during my time at Aberdeen FC as a player, as a coach, and later as manager. Across each role, Scott proved to be one of the most reliable, knowledgeable, and respected members of staff at the club.
His calm presence, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the game made him a key figure in the football environment. He had a natural ability to get the best out of players, regardless of their experience or stage of development, and always built strong, genuine relationships with those around him.
As manager, I leaned on Scott regularly. His insight, professionalism, and quality on the training pitch were consistent and of the highest standard. He played a crucial role in maintaining performance levels during demanding periods.
SA Performance Training is a fantastic next step for Scott. Players working with him - whether international, senior, or emerging talent - will benefit from his experience, standards, and dedication to player development."
