About this listen
In Never Give In, former Royal Marine Major Scotty Mills blends personal experiences from his remarkable life and career with inspirational advice and insights to provide his 12 Commando Rules for Life that could help anyone to do better and reach their targets.
A sudden downpour while Scotty Mills was walking down a street in South London sent him diving for cover into the nearest shop. It turned out to be a recruitment centre for the Royal Marines and, after a few minutes' conversation while waiting for the rain to stop, Scotty was hooked and signed up to join the elite force. It changed his life and set him on a new direction that would end up with him leading the Marines on operations around the world, becoming an Olympic flag bearer in 2012 and dining at Buckingham Palace with the Queen and the royal family.
Scotty shares his lessons of performance and resilience with the reader, inviting them into the secrets of elite culture. His compelling story is one that combines tragedy with remarkable insight about the power of human inspiration. Scotty has worked with many of our nation's top sports teams, helping them to achieve their goals, and in Never Give In he shares his methods with his readers to guide them to peak performance in all aspects of their life and career.©2022 Scotty Mills (P)2022 Simon & Schuster, UK
Critic reviews
'Scotty was a huge part of our journey coming together as a team ... I don't mind saying we've hugged a couple of times and shed a tear. There aren't many people I would open up in that way to' (Gareth Southgate)
'Scotty went from being one of the few Black recruits in the 1980s to becoming the highest-ranking commisioned Black officer in Royal Marines history' (Owen Eastwood, author of Belonging)
'The respect for each other [which Scotty instilled in us] was something that carried right through to the World Cup in Russia' (Harry Kane)
What really let’s it down is the narration which felt like listening to Elmo on the Muppets or cBeebies. I suspect it was a young editor that thought it a good idea to try to resonate with ‘the yoof’ but to listen to someone who appeared barely literate for 7 hours was a chore. I would recommend the print version over the audible one of this book.
