Lexi Scott has been with the Sanford Sports Academy since 2023. Prior to becoming a coach, she was a four-year starter at the University of Sioux Falls. 

Scott believes that her experiences as a player have helped her become a better coach. She attempts to mirror some of the tactics her favorite coaches used during her playing career and apply them to her own coaching style. Scott strives to push her athletes to be the best they can be, knowing that each athlete’s best looks different. Being able to recognize that is important to her. Her goal is to help athletes develop skills, while also trying to help them be good teammates on and off the court. 

Scott loves being a part of the Sanford Sports Academy community, where the goal for everyone involved is to help each athlete accomplish their goals. If an athlete wants to play basketball, volleyball and softball, we find a way to make it happen, which isn’t very common. She is glad that these opportunities are offered to athletes through the Sanford Sports Academy.
