He shares wisdom from his late father, pays tribute to Malcolm Marshall, and lets us in on jaw-dropping moments with Hugh Jackman inside the Lord’s changerooms.

    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. This is the reality of defying time in the AFL. ** Pendlebury: Beyond 400 release schedule. Subscribe to the Howie Games feed so you don’t miss an episode!

    Welcome to a new kind of sport storytelling. Scott Pendlebury’s pre-season diary. The journey begins for a 20th year, and the insights will blow your mind. Pendlebury: Beyond 400 isn’t just about footy—it’s about what it takes to keep pushing when most would tap out. The mini series, brought to you by the Howie Games, starts with Pendles’ return to work butterfly’s before the grind begins. First touches, first steps into year 20—yet still, the nerves are there. Disrupted sleep. Ups and downs. The pre-season battle is real, even for a champion of the game. The reality of another gruelling season sets in. And it is all documented with this new Pendlebury project. Beyond 400. A truly revolutionary pre-season audio diary. From skills sessions to Coffee Club with Steele Sidebottom, from exhaustion to recalibration, Pendlebury: Beyond 400 kicks off with an unfiltered deep dive into what it means to defy time in the AFL. ** Pendlebury: Beyond 400 release schedule.
