The Sikh Coach Podcast Avtar Singh

Welcome to a well overdue episode of the podcast! It's 2024 and I wanted to change things. New format, new content, new podcast :-)

There are lots of long form podcasts now so, I wanted to change things up and give some value back to the community with some short, inspiring, digestible content.

In this Episode I talk about Banda Singh Bahadur a significant Sikh in Sikh History, somebody we can learn from about leadership, resilience and faith.

Here I give some background to who Banda Singh Bahadur was, what he stood for achieved and endured during his death. There are some key takeaways from his life that we can directly reflect upon and make changes to live a rich life of value.

Let me know what you think and what future topics/content you would like me to cover.

Stay blessed,



Avtar Singh - The Sikh Coach

Welcome to episode 22.  This is a break from the norm episode where my role as interviewer got reversed!  Sarah from the Come Pray With Me Podcast collaborated with The Sikh Coach to talk about all things Sikhi and about my journey through the faith.  Thank you Sarah for giving me this opportunity and thinking I was worthy of being a guest on your podcast.  It was a pleasure meeting you and answering your questions.  I wish you only success with your podcast and also, with your studies :-)

Welcome to The Sikh Coach Podcast! 

Happy Vaisakhi - Khalsa Sajna Divas (Birth of the Khalsa!).  Wishing everyone is celebrating and keeping in high spirits.  No doubt there will be a lot of Nagar Kirtan's taking place (processions), I know I am very excited to attend our local one.  It has been long overdue to be able to celebrate together.

In Episode 21, I catch up with Champion Boxer, Dylan "The Natural" Cheema!  I was super excited for this podcast as Dylan was crowned BOXXER Series lightweight champion via a unanimous decision victory over Rylan Charlton in the final in Coventry on Saturday 16th April 2022 - a day that will go down in history!

Dylan has an incredible work ethic, grounded, yet confident in his capabilities, focused and an all round great guy.  It was an absolute pleasure to have him on the podcast.  I am sure a lot of people will leave this podcast episode feeling inspired and ever so proud of what Dylan has achieved but with a deeper understanding about the sacrifice and dedication that is needed to excel in something you are really passionate about.  No doubt Dylan has much much further to go yet, he is only 25 and has conquered the Kickboxing world at a very young age and will surely make an impressive legacy in his Boxing career which has just begun - Godspeed.
