Become your own Superhero presents! Australian Sub 4 minute-mile record holder & 4 x Comm games and 2 Olympic Games competitor Pat Scammell!

Patrick 'Pat' Gerard Scammell is a now-retired Australian runner who specialized in the 1500 metres. 

As a child, Pat had ambitions of becoming the Pope but was too impatient to wait the 50-60 years, so decided that becoming world-class was a faster path!

Pat struggled academically early on but by the grace of God, a public school teacher intervened and inspired a resurgence that led to one of the most illustrious athletic careers ever. 

Pat shares rare and intimate stories of his time as an Olympic and commonwealth games athlete, discipline to become world-class and how he goes about being a loving husband, father to four beautiful children (including son "Benny" who was born with down syndrome).

Scammell competed at both the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games, reaching the semi-finals of the 1500 meters in 1988.

Scammell has clocked more sub 4 minute miles than any other Australian, a total of 28 times. The first time was in 1982 and in 1991 he set what would be his lifetime best of 3:53.58.

Pat is also the Co-Founder of Zukaz (www.zukaz.com).
