Scott Draper

An expert in the science and application of sustained high performance across individual, team and organisational domains. Scott Draper has a rare blend of lived experience and professional rigour, who brings 25 years in elite performance – first as a professional athlete in two sports, then as a high-performance coach, and now as a leadership and performance specialist.

Scott has seen what drives performance – and knows what derails it. His move from athlete and coach to leading national sporting pathways sparked a deeper fascination with leadership, culture, and system-level change. This led him to complete an MBA in Leadership, Strategy and Innovation with Dux honours, and to expand his impact beyond sport into the corporate, government and private sectors.

As Co-Founder and Director of North and the Sustained High-Performance Program, Scott helps individuals, teams and organisations cut through the noise and do the work that matters – blending deep empathy with bold challenge. He is known for creating environments where people feel energised, safe, and stretched to grow.

What gets him out of bed is helping people shift from knowing to doing, instilling belief and shaping what’s possible.
