Becoming More Marine with Major Scotty Mills

In part 2 of our special with Major Scotty Mills – a Green Beret for 32 years – we explore how we can all embrace the Royal Marines’ core values including humility, courage, respect and kindness.

Scotty was known as former England Manager Gareth Southgate’s ‘secret weapon’ when he put Harry Kane and the squad through Commando training before the 2018 World Cup and recalls the deep bond he forged with Gareth and the players.

Scotty continues to mentor world-class sports teams and athletes, as well as global brands like Google and Apple, and shares wonderful stories from dining at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty the late Queen to being an Olympic flag bearer at the London Games.
