S1 E7 - Colin Dalgleish: From ‘Underdog’ to British Champion


Listen Later

Colin Dalgleish is the current Scottish and British Singles Champion in Table Tennis. He competed in the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games and has represented Scotland all over the world. 

However, his route to the top of the game in the UK wasn’t a foregone conclusion. He was never seen as the most ‘talented’ player throughout his junior career but since then has continued his improvement and left the others in his rear view mirror. 

We discuss his journey and attempt to identify the key moments in it, that may best explain why he has gone on to achieve such success in the game. 

Although this episode is Table Tennis specific in terms of the content, the topics of discussion are relatable and useful across all sports.
