Scott McGill | The Stable Cyclist's White Whale | EMERGENCY Podcast

In this episode of The Stable Cyclist Podcast, I finally sit down with the white whale—Scott McGill. Having had all the other Bonk Bros hosts on the show, it was only a matter of time before I tracked Scott down for an interview and landing him warranted an EMERGENCY POD.

A professional road racer and one of the original voices of Bonk Bros, Scott shares his journey to the pro ranks and how his perspective on life extends far beyond the bike. We dive deep into the evolution of his identity, discussing how he balances being an athlete, coach, and person outside of sport.

Scott also breaks down his coaching philosophy and how his experiences have shaped his approach to training and mentorship. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, balance, and looking at the bigger picture—both for himself and his athletes. Whether you're a cycling fan, an athlete, or someone trying to navigate identity beyond a career or passion, this episode delivers insight, humor, and a long-awaited conversation that was well worth the chase.
