The Howie Games

Without further ado... a story that epitomises everything this podcast is about. And Fages - the chief story teller - tells it beautifully.   A determination to follow dreams and break convention. A relationship based teacher, turned Premiership coach. It truly is an inspiring, and motivating story - with a few ups and downs along the way. But, the journey to get there is what makes it special. And the story teller and chief energy officer doesn't miss a detail.  Thank you Fages.  ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It all leads to this. The grind. The sacrifice. The hill sprints. The saunas and the ice baths. The relentless pursuit of greatness. Pendles takes us behind the curtain as the pre-season journey transforms into game day reality. Inside the team meetings, through the nerves, and into the pages of his game day diary—20 years in the making. From a pre-season hit-out against Richmond to the real deal: Opening Round against the GWS Giants. The final preparations for game day. The airport. Waking up in Sydney. Finding the coffee shop for the team. The nerves from the hotel room. The smells and feelings of the match itself. And even the car ride home.  The pre-season is officially done. Now, the marathon is underway. Thanks Pendles.  ** To celebrate the episode finale, check out The Pendlebury's special wine range.. including a special Duo drop, celebrating Steele Sidebottom and Scott's games played together.  ** Collingwood have also welcomed fans into their inner sanctum during the 2025 AFL pre-season through their new docuseries, 'The Grind'.

The mind games. The pressure. The expectations—external and internal. The mentality. It's another key part to twenty seasons at the top. Pendles opens up on his mental blueprint: from setting a simple goal of playing ten games in year one to breaking superstitions along the way. He reveals how he’s handled the media and social media noise across his career. Plus, a pre-season trip to the Gold Coast for match simulation as the season creeps closer. This is next-level insight from a generational great. ** To celebrate the series, check out The Pendlebury's special wine range.. including a special Duo drop, celebrating Steele Sidebottom and Scott's games played together.  ** Collingwood is also welcoming fans into their inner sanctum during the 2025 AFL pre-season through their new docuseries, 'The Grind'.

A deep dive into one of the secret weapons of longevity—sleep. Or in this case, the brutal reality of not getting enough. Pendles is wrecked. One of the hardest sessions yet. Neck is sore. Feet hurt. Sleep? Non-existent. But this is why you push. This is why you harden your body in pre-season—to survive 25 weeks of AFL warfare. So, what’s next? Walk it off. Hit the sauna. Hot and colds. Family time. Then onto the bike… and what happens next might just surprise you. Plus, an elite breakdown of what fuels a champion. The nutrition, the tweaks, the sacrifices. The reason he’s still here after 20 years. Pendlebury: Beyond 400—no shortcuts, no secrets. Just the work.

Here comes the pain of pre-season. A sore knee that won’t quit. Hard training when the body says no. The cameras see the athlete. The crowd sees the champion. But what about the dad, the husband and the mate? Pendles takes the kids to work, offering a rare glimpse into the balance between footy and family at Collingwood. Meanwhile, Howie flips the script—turning to Alex, Pendles' wife, for the real story on sacrifice, commitment, and the emotional toll of 20 years at the top. Grinding through pain. Soaking up family time. This is the other side of the game like you might not have never heard.

Hear from Mick Malthouse, Nathan Buckley and Craig McRae as they help take us inside Scott Pendlebury's twenty year pursuit.  From Mick Malthouse’s old-school grit to Nathan Buckley’s tactical precision to Craig McRae’s modern approach—Scott Pendlebury has lived through a change in the pre-season approach. He takes us on a journey behind the science, the strategy and the sheer brutality of AFL pre-seasons. High-altitude camps that pushed bodies to the edge. The shifting demands of the game. The way preparation has transformed—and the toll it still takes. This episode isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a front-row seat to two decades of relentless evolution, told by the men who have watched it all.  20-years. Three coaches. A game that has never stopped evolving.

Christmas isn’t an off-season—it’s just another checkpoint in the pursuit of greatness. Pendles takes us inside the mental game. The lessons from Paul Licuria. The art of pushing yourself beyond comfort. Learning to enjoy the hurt. Plus his Christmas discipline. And, one last brutal leg session at 6AM before heading to Bali with the family. A run in the heat on arrival.  The break - if you even call it that - is short-lived. A bout of Bali belly on return, and the focus sharpens—dialling in on nutrition, training, and even watching Fox Footy in the background, feeling the season closing in. Time to lock in. ** Pendlebury: Beyond 400 release schedule. Subscribe to the Howie Games feed so you don’t miss an episode!

It’s Saturday morning, and the grind doesn’t stop. It's professional athlete insights like you have never heard before. 10K on the trails, lungs burning, legs heavy—then straight into hill sprints. The body’s screaming, fighting back the saliva, but Pendles pushes through. No shortcuts, no excuses. Then? Flip the schedule. Straight from elite-level training to coaching the under-9s. Remember that basketball background? Then, we dive deep into the flow of match play, tackling drills, and the arrival of Perryman at the Pies. Plus, a rare glimpse into the human side of the grind—shuffling sessions to make the kids Christmas concert, wrapping up the school year with family. And then there’s the Christmas present nobody asked for: The fitness staff’s gift—a monster session designed to break even the fittest. Plus, ice baths, saunas, and survival mode.

Olympic Gold Medallist, World Champion and Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist. But best of all, he is just a nice, down to earth, emotionally open guy. And that, is why we love King Kyle! He took the world by storm in the 100m freestyle as an 18-year-old at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and as a result, he has experienced all the highs and also all of the lows of being a professional athlete.
