Episode 3. Stevie Campbell on the Sports Bench

In Episode 3 of The Sports Bench Podcast, Marc Millar sits down with highly respected coach Stevie Campbell, the man who helped shape the careers of some of Scotland’s most successful footballers. During his time at Dundee United, Stevie played a key role in the development of players including Andy Robertson, Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Gauld, John Souttar, Gary Mackay-Steven and many others who progressed to international and elite-level football. In this fascinating conversation, Stevie reflects on his own playing career, his transition into coaching, and the philosophies that underpin successful youth development. He shares insights into creating the right culture in an academy, identifying “slow burners” who develop later than their peers, and balancing the challenge of producing top-level players while supporting those whose journeys take a different path. A thoughtful and inspiring discussion about leadership, patience, talent development and the profound impact coaches can have on young lives.

Episode 2. Alan Tait on the Sports Bench

In Episode 2 of The Sports Bench Podcast, Marc Millar sits down with one of Scotland’s most respected and recognisable figures in golf, Alan Tait. From winning the Scottish Boys Championship at just 16 to holding the course record at Carnoustie for 23 years, Alan reflects on the highs, near-misses and lessons from a life immersed in the game. He shares candid insights into transitioning from amateur to professional golf, the realities of competing on tour, and the fine margins between success and failure at the elite level. Alan also recounts a remarkable practice round alongside Tiger Woods and Ben Crenshaw, discusses modern technology’s impact on the game, and opens up about the discipline he wishes he had embraced earlier in his career. Beyond playing, the conversation explores his work in growing the game through Golfing initiatives, developing young talent, shaping club culture and ensuring golf becomes more inclusive and welcoming for future generations. Honest and insightful with a few laughs along the way, this episode is a powerful reflection on performance, humility, resilience and the lifelong lessons sport can teach us.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
