Riaan Scholtz

Riaan Scholtz is a coach forged in competition and driven by the belief that sport is a mirror-one that reflects truth, tests spirit, and calls people into who they're meant to be.

From his first steps on a rugby field at age 5 to representing the Junior Springboks, Currie Cup, and provincial teams like Pumas, Verre Noord, and Suid Oos Transvaal, his career has been a journey of growth through adversity and excellence.

More than a rugby player, he's a multi-sport athlete. a national champion in wrestling, a competitor in cricket, athletics, and more. Each sport taught him something different. Together, they built a foundation of resilience, discipline, and awareness that now fuels his coaching.

He began coaching in 2008, working with youth rugby players before expanding into field hockey and cricket. From 2012 to 2016, he served as a rugby advisor and analyst. Since 2022, he's been an Assistant Coach with the Twin Cities Amazons, helping build structure, clarity, and belief into every layer of performance.

With certifications in World Rugby Level 2 coaching, USA Rugby Assistant Referee, Riaan brings more than knowledge to the field - he brings presence, perspective, and purpose. He leads with heart, clarity, and the deep understanding that every athlete is becoming something greater.

He doesn't just coach plays. He coaches people.
