Every Resource for the Stoic Athlete
Stoicism, born in Ancient Greece, teaches self-discipline and practical strategies to accept what’s beyond control, preserving peace of mind and upholding virtue. The Stoic Athlete applies these principles—embracing challenges without blame or distraction—remaining focused, resilient, and unmoved by competition’s chaos, prepared to do whatever is required for victory.
Who I Am
My name is Nicholas Scarvelis. I’m an Olympic shot putter and NCAA Division I coach, with years of experience competing and coaching at the highest levels of the sport.
I’ve competed on the biggest stages in our sport, and I’ve coached athletes across all stages of development—refining technique, building real power, and developing the mindset it takes to perform when it counts. Now, my focus is on mentorship. I work with serious throwers who want more than just reps in the ring.
Whether you’re aiming for an NCAA scholarship or preparing for your breakthrough season, I’m here to help you train with purpose, compete with clarity, and rise to the next level.
How I Help Athletes
Whether you're an emerging athlete looking to compete in college, or an international standout aiming to earn a U.S. scholarship, I offer direct access to the insight, strategy, and development support I wish I had at coming up in the sport. As an Olympian and former NCAA coach, my goal is to help throwers reach the next level.
Every athlete I work with receives support across the key areas below—based on their needs and goals. In my experience, a comprehensive approach to both development and college recruitment produces the best results.
