Leading with Heart: Scott Miller's Path to Creating a Winning Athletics Culture

Summary of Podcast #20 Leading with Heart: Scott Miller's Path to Creating a Winning Athletics Culture

In the latest D8 Training Podcast, Ann-Marie Antic chats with Scott Miller, the 2022 Little Athletics SA President of the Year. Scott leads the Plympton Flyers, a local athletics club making a big impact. Scott started as a parent volunteer and is now the leader of an award-winning club. His story is about passion, helping others, and building a great community.

Plympton Flyers began as a way for Scott's kids to stay active, but it soon became a big part of their family life. Scott loved the club’s focus on fun and community, so he became a volunteer when they needed help. Even though he wasn’t sure at first, Scott became president because he wanted to create a great place for kids to grow and enjoy sports.

Achievements Under Scott's Leadership

Under Scott’s leadership, Plympton Flyers has grown a lot and won the big award for 2023 Little Athletics Centre of the Year! This shows how much the club cares about making a fun and welcoming place where kids can do their best. Scott says the secret to their success is helping kids focus on improving themselves and having fun, instead of worrying about winning.

Innovative Programs for Young Athletes

One of the standout aspects of Plympton Flyers is its innovative programs, such as the Tiny Tots and On Track initiatives. These programs are designed to engage young children in athletics through fun, game-based activities that teach fundamental skills. By hiring young coaches who have grown up with athletics, the club ensures that these programs are both effective and relatable for the kids.

The Role of Parental Involvement

Scott says parents are super important to the club. They don’t just watch—they help out with events and cheer for their kids. This teamwork makes the club a fun and proud place. Some families even travel a long way to be part of Plympton Flyers!

Why Athletics and Strength Training Matter


Scott thinks sports are about more than running or jumping. They help kids feel good about themselves, try their best, and make friends. Strength training is also important because it helps kids get stronger, stay safe, and learn how to do exercises the right way. Sports and strength training help kids grow, have fun, and feel proud. Scott’s story shows how they can bring people together and make kids’ lives better.


We are so happy Scott Miller came on the D8 Training Podcast! Scott is an amazing leader at Plympton Flyers, a little athletics club that has won big awards. He’s a unsung hero, always helping kids get stronger, grow, and feel good about themselves. Scott cares so much about his community and shows how sports can make a big difference. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your story and all the great things you do!
