Coach Scott R. Dooley

Leveraging more than three decades of excellence in military service and education, Mr. Dooley has focused his efforts on providing expert youth leadership coaching with the purpose of building young men, ages 14-19 years old, into citizens of character who are secure in their future after high school and beyond.

Prior to starting his private career, Mr. Dooley entered the United States Army on November 1, 1991 and served as a military police soldier for 25 years in key junior and senior leadership positions. In 2016, Mr. Dooley retired honorably from the United States Army and secured a position with Hargrave Military Academy, Chatham, VA, as the Director, Center for Leadership and Ethics. In this capacity, he served as the assistant team chair for the Executive Character Education Team, with oversight of the strategic Character Across the Campus Program. He also served as the chief instructor for the basic and advanced leadership courses and the sociology and psychology courses. Mr. Dooley attributes his inspiration to launching RIDER360, LLC, and his focus on individual youth leadership development, to his student’s ‘Aha’ moments of connecting the dots between making good choices and achieving their success.

Mr. Dooley was certified as a leadership coach through the Certified Coaches Federation (CCF) in 2021, attained a Master of Education in training and development leadership from Northcentral University in 2010, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice from Wagner College in 1991. He received certificates of completion in project management fundamentals from the Syracuse University School of Information Studies and in brand management from the University of London.

Within the coming years, Mr. Dooley intends to grow as a coach and to continue to provide the best service to his clients. His end state is to strengthen character, boost confidence, and empower his clients to make the right choices that will maximize their success. According to Mr. Dooley, “To know leadership is to know yourself, what you stand for, and what you can achieve. I gauge success by when my clients learn to lead themselves and make the right choices, and when their parents rest easier knowing their sons are confident in their path to secure their future after high school and beyond.”
