Did you know that former England football captain, Jill Scott, was also a champion long-distance runner?
On Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, she explained that she focused on football because she didn’t get the same feeling standing on the podium alone.
She loved the team training. But competing and winning just felt different.
“There’s nothing like celebrating the journey and the success with teammates.”
The interview was fantastic. But that one sentence resonated.
She found that being part of a team, where everyone contributes their unique strengths and enjoying the journey together, is more fulfilling than success.
Ironically, it led to even more success.
Well worth a listen back on iPlayer.
