What it’s like being the Head PTI for NZ SAS”
I had the pleasure to reconnect with an old friend of mine today- Scott Cottier. Scott was my Physical Training Instructor (PTI) in the NZ Army and then also in the 1st New Zealand Special Air Service Group when I was a Commando.
Scott’s goal after becoming a PTI was always to become the “Head Trainer” for the SAS and he accomplished this in 2006 and served there for 6 years- improving the application of Physical Training for the Tier 1 Special Forces Unit and I can say from personal experience he did a great job.
He is a man who epitomises the “Unrelenting g Pursuit of Excellence” and is a wealth of knowledge about functional elite fitness and now uses this to improve.success in corporates, teams and individuals.
Scott takes what looks at first sight to be an unconventional and brutal approach in applying his craft, but you will find out in the show, after training such high performing individuals and warfighters, you will find his approach refreshingly honest and applicable.
Listen in for the story I tell about when we had him in the Kill House with live rounds whizzing past his head, he has a great sense of humour and it has been an honour to watch his successful journey and positivity.

Hated every. single. P.T. session with Scotty. Truth be told, I just straight up hated PT. Embarrassingly, I was/am one of those who used any excuse to avoid PT. All that being said, Scotty is a top bloke and always good for a laugh. A lot of respect for him. Another good episode, bro 🤙🏻

Great stuff. People like Scott might come across as harsh. But it's coming from a place of care. Not being a mean bastard for no reason. He's trying to get the best out of people. Many give up when things are getting hard physically.

you absolutely naile dit here- thank you for such wise words

Cottier was one of out PTI's at 2/1, only complaint was that there was not enough battle PT. I weighed 78kg, and I could do the entire con course in FSMO with the Gympy by myself, I used to love approaching the six foot wall with the gympy in one hand looking at PTI's and their doubtful looks...... and then hearing "well done gunner....well done" after easily getting over...and the same with the firemans pole, gympy in one hand, no sling, keeping it out of the water. Rehab and physio was absolute shit, I badly sprained an ankle on the 189, I got voltaren, was on LD's for a few weeks, 10yrs later and out of the Army I sprained that same ankle badly again, got xrays.... turns out I had fractured my ankle on the 189, there was quite a big bone chip visible on the xray and they said it was quite old. Army solution was a tube of voltaren gel, didn't even get xrayed even though I needed crutches for a while.

Corps of Transport bred this "youngin" whipper snapper and molded him into his PTI career. Fact. "Nil sine labore".

[@specforceperformanceconsul4643]

Yep definitely agree. Never forget where I started and came from. The Transport years were one of the best times.

[@WHANAUPEACE]

"Well rounded" unless you're Wally Milner eh Youngin? LOL!!!
