In this episode, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Cathy Gallacher, Executive Director of Sport at the University of Stirling.
In our chat we take a deep dive into the culture and environment at Stirling , where sport is part of the very DNA of the University. We will hear Cathy tells us how this manifests itself across all departments, whilst reminding us that the strategic positioning of sport remains an ongoing focus of her role.
We learn the importance of resilience in the continual pursuit of excellence, which Cathy explains isn't just about winning medals it has to be about every facet of the sport experience.
Our chat is peppered with some key takeaways, none more so than appreciating that things don't happen overnight, take the time to celebrate the small wins and it's ok to not know the answer.
Cathy tells us that a source of inspiration for her is Simon Mundie's podcast - The Life Lessons.
