Hi, I’m Scott Schwertly!

Thanks for visiting my site. I’m a husband and father of 3, bass player, 2x Ironman, and hockey player and coach. I’m also the Founder and CEO of GritBase, a mental performance coaching company for hockey players. Before starting GritBase, I created Ethos3, a presentation company I started over 16 years ago. I now serve in a background role as Chairman.

My time with Ethos3 afforded me the opportunity to work with some of the biggest brands in the world as I helped them reshape their narratives and tell better stories. Some of my most notable clients include: NBC Universal, Nestle, Pepsi, Coke, MLS, MLB, CBS, Google, SanDisk, Cisco, Marriott, Microsoft, LinkedIn, eBay, Amazon, Legendary Pictures, A&E Television, and many more.

My time on the front lines of agency life and finishing 2 Ironmans, 4 half-Ironmans, and 10 marathons taught me a lot about having a solid work ethic, mental toughness, and resilience. I am using this next chapter of my life to share those lessons through mental performance coaching for athletes and executives.
