Leave Your Mark
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people—high achievers who are also genuinely good humans—have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them.
More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world.
Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond—and walk away inspired to leave your own mark.
Your host, Scott Livingston, has spent over 35 years in the world of human performance. He’s trained, reconditioned, and supported some of the best athletes on the planet, working inside elite performance environments and learning firsthand what it takes to be the best in the world.

The Physiology of Excellence - Trevor Cottrell on Power, Coaching, and Longevity
This week on the Leave Your Mark podcast, I sit down with someone whose influence on our industry is truly profound — Dr. Trevor Cottrell.
Recently retired and now serving as a Professor of Instruction in Physiology at Texas State University, Trevor brings more than three decades of wisdom, research, and applied practice to this conversation.
For 21 years, he helped shape the future of Kinesiology, Athletic Therapy, and Osteopathy as a Professor and Program Coordinator at Sheridan College. His research spans the entire spectrum of human physiology — from cellular biochemistry to applied human performance — with a unique specialization in how warm-up strategies can directly manipulate and elevate power output.
Beyond academia, Trevor spent over 30 years coaching in professional, Olympic, and collegiate environments and was a co-founder of the Canadian Strength and Conditioning Association. He built and ran a successful private performance facility, coached thousands of athletes, and became a sought-after expert in power and speed development, especially in contact sports.
Today, he continues to give back by mentoring coaches at every stage of their careers and leading the Texas State University Olympic Weightlifting Club. He’s also a devoted husband of 30 years and father of two grown children — someone who has lived a life of service, curiosity, and contribution.
This episode is a deep dive into longevity, leadership, high performance, and the evolution of our field.
If you’re a coach, therapist, educator, or simply someone who cares about human potential, you won’t want to miss this one.
