Matt Scott Biography
Matt Scott is recognized as a leading figure in American wheelchair basketball. Born with spina bifida, Scott began using a wheelchair at an early age and started playing wheelchair basketball at 14. He joined the U.S. men's national wheelchair basketball team directly after high school. During his collegiate career at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Scott played for the UW-Whitewater Warhawks in the NWBA College Division, contributing to three championship wins in five years.
Scott is a five-time Paralympian in wheelchair basketball, representing Team USA at the Paralympic Games in Athens, Beijing, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo. Over his two-decade tenure, Scott and the men's wheelchair basketball team progressed from a seventh-place finish to winning bronze and then gold medals, including a significant victory over Spain at the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games. He was nominated for the Best Male Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award.
Scott's professional wheelchair basketball career spanned 12 years, with contracts in Turkey, Italy, Spain, and Germany. He was among the first U.S. Paralympians to secure professional opportunities overseas. While playing in Italy, a game film featuring Scott making multiple three-point shots gained widespread attention, leading The Undefeated to publish a feature titled "Meet the Steph Curry of Wheelchair Basketball." After his international career, Scott led the Golden State Road Warriors to a Division I National Championship and earned MVP honors at the tournament.
Scott has appeared in national marketing campaigns, including as the first U.S. Paralympian to star in a Nike advertisement, "No Excuses." He has served as a spokesperson for Travel Wisconsin, participated in a digital campaign for Apple Watch, and acted as an athlete ambassador for Ralph Lauren. Scott also worked as a reporter for NBC during the Paris Paralympics.
An advocate for inclusion and universal participation in adaptive sports, Scott is the founder and executive director of Fly Without Limits, a nonprofit organization focused on increasing access for people with disabilities. He promotes adaptive fitness as a Fitbit premium instructor, serves on the executive committee of the Move United Board of Directors, and is a member of Google's Team Pixel. Scott's career highlights his commitment to disability inclusion, adaptive sports, and representation in athletics.
