Summary
In the first of a series of special EURO 2020 episodes, we are joined by Gareth Southgate, the current England manager. Gareth took up the position in November 2016 and oversaw the Three Lions’ World Cup qualification campaign, leading England to Russia 2018 where they made the semi-finals. Gareth gained 57 international caps as a player taking part in 4 major tournaments.
On the domestic front, after six years and almost 200 appearances for Villa, Gareth joined Middlesbrough where, as captain, he led the side to their first major trophy with the League Cup in 2004.
After taking time out to travel, visit and observe training and coaching methods at a number of different clubs in Europe following his departure from Boro, Gareth had a 18-month spell with the FA as head of elite development.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, how's it going? Welcome along. Exciting times from the High Performance Podcast because |
| 0:08.2 | this is the start of our Euro series. For the next six weeks we're going to be dropping |
| 0:12.5 | a new episode every Wednesday with someone involved in Euro 2020, which I know is being |
| 0:18.3 | played in 2021. We start today with Garath Southgate. I'm so proud to say that he is a listener |
| 0:24.2 | to the High Performance Podcast. He regularly messages me with a bit of feedback or some |
| 0:28.4 | thoughts or what he made of certain episodes of things. When he agreed to come on, we were |
| 0:33.3 | absolutely delighted. The things that he says and the stories he shares and the wisdom |
| 0:38.6 | that he imparts in this podcast is going to be so valuable for so, so many people. We're |
| 0:43.7 | then going to hear from one of the most high profile players in the Premier League over |
| 0:48.1 | the last few seasons. We're going to speak to a man who will be pulling on the Blue |
| 0:51.9 | Jersey of Scotland at the Euros. We will have a conversation with I'd argue the most |

| 1:00.9 | really interesting conversation. We will also speak to a man who has played for the biggest |
| 1:05.8 | clubs in the UK. People keep on saying, where is this guy? Why is this guy not involved |
| 1:10.2 | in the game at the moment? Well, he is determined to get back into football and he will be talking |
| 1:14.8 | to us about that. He's played for England. He knows what it takes to win the biggest |
| 1:19.0 | trophies. So that will be an amazing conversation. We will also finish after the tournament |
| 1:23.9 | with the Scotland boss Steve Clark who will join us for one of the high performance Euro |
| 1:29.0 | 2020 specials. So get ready for some really good episodes over the next six weeks and |
| 1:34.0 | we're doing all this in conjunction with our partner, whoop. Now, I know some people |
| 1:38.3 | at this point go, right, I'll just zip past the ads, but let me just really quickly explain |
| 1:42.2 | something, okay? Because of the popularity and the success of this podcast, we have a lot |
