About Me
My background
I'm Scott Armistead, founder of ProGK Rehab—a consultancy dedicated to the rehabilitation, performance, and long-term health of elite goalkeepers.
A former age group international, semi-professional and American Collegiate goalkeeper, now working with over a decade of experience in professional soccer; I specialize in bridging the gap between sports medicine, performance science, and position-specific demands.
I’ve worked with title-winning clubs in Major League Soccer, helping top-level athletes return to play stronger, smarter, and more resilient. My mission with ProGK Rehab is to deliver evidence-based, goalkeeper-specific rehabilitation strategies that prioritize longevity, performance, and the unique physical and cognitive demands of the position.
My teams
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting elite athletes and Goalkeepers across every level of the game—from academy prospects to international and veteran professionals. I’ve worked with top-tier organizations including Seattle Sounders FC, FC Cincinnati, FC Tucson, and the Barça Residency Academy, helping teams reach milestones like the MLS Supporters’ Shield, Conference Finals, and First Playoff Appearances in club history. These experiences have shaped my goalkeeper-specific approach to rehabilitation, performance therapy, and long-term health—ensuring every plan is both elite-level and individualized.
My style
No two goalkeepers—or goalkeeper coaches—are the same.
At ProGK Rehab, I prioritize understanding the unique philosophy that shapes each goalkeeper’s playing style and the coaching methodology that supports their development. Whether it’s a high-line sweeper-keeper or a deep-positioned shot-stopper, I tailor rehabilitation and performance strategies to align with both the athlete’s physical needs and their tactical identity.
By collaborating closely with goalkeepers, goalkeeper coaches, rehabilitation professionals familiar with the individual, and embracing the nuances of different styles, I ensure every progression honors the keeper’s strengths, mindset, and long-term vision.
