SCOTT RIEWALD, Ph.D., CSCS
United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee
Senior Director, Performance Projects
Scott Riewald oversees special projects in the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Sport Performance and NGB Services Division. In his position, Riewald works in partnership with the USOC’s High Performance Directors, Coaching Education Department, Sports Medicine team, as well as the National Governing Bodies, to dig deeper into areas that can have an impact on athlete performance – e.g. technology and innovation, culture and leadership, athlete monitoring, and performance analytics. The overarching goal of his work is to enhance athlete performance and give U.S. athletes the best chance to reach the podium at the Olympic Games. Riewald also oversees the USOC’s talent transfer efforts, working to identify athletes who have the skills necessary to excel in an Olympic discipline, while also promoting the opportunities that exist in Olympic sport.
Prior to this position, Riewald served as the USOC’s winter sport high performance director, working with the winter National Governing Bodies for eight years to coordinate sport science and medical support for their elite athletes. Riewald has also spent time as the Sport Science Administrator for the United States Tennis Association’s Player Development Division. He worked closely with the sport science staff, the coaching education department and the USTA sport science committee to integrate sport science, sports medicine and technology with the goal of developing high performance tennis players. He also spent four years as the biomechanics director for USA Swimming, where he was part of an international biomechanics research team at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Outside of sport, Scott has taught graduate-level courses in biomechanics and sport performance at Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University, and the University of Colorado - Colorado Springs. He has also authored two books on sport science and swimming.
Riewald received a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from Boston University, where he was a highly decorated swimmer, and earned masters and doctorate degrees in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University where he studied neuromuscular control and biomechanics of movement. He is also certified as a strength and conditioning specialist by the NSCA. Scott is married, and lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and two children.
