E102 - Lee Child: Hoping for the best but planning for the worst

On the day (Wednesday 1st June) of the emotional World Cup play-off game between Scotland vs Ukraine, we revisit an edited version of our conversion with Scotland manager Steve Clarke. The game was postponed in March after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so this is the first competitive match Ukraine have been able to play since the declaration of war.Steve's greatest achievement has been reversing the years of underperformance of the national football team, taking them to their first major tournament in over 20 years, and determined for them not to be one tournament wonders. Steve is searing in his honesty and inspiring with his humility. Listen to Steve explain how he's preparing his team for one of the most important games in their history. This podcast was recorded live at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh. - - - - - -Watch all our episodes on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPerformancePodcast/videosFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highperformance/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/highperformancepodcast Hosted on Acast.

His house is a space for his children to be free and happily express themselves, rather than how Russell was not encouraged to do what he wanted.
