#164: Moises Henriques (Cricket) Fear, Freedom and Falling Back in Love with the Game

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Moises Henriques for a deeply honest conversation about performance, pressure and rediscovering joy in the game. From Big Bash finals to back surgery and a career shaped by resilience, Moises reflects on the physical and mental toll of elite cricket and how he has learned to navigate both. Moises opens up about the turning point in his career when fear of failure began to outweigh his love for the game. Once a player who thrived in big moments, he found himself withdrawing from pressure situations, worried about letting the team down. What followed was a period of self reflection and emotional work to change how he viewed failure, shifting from fear to growth and from avoidance to ownership. He shares practical insight into mindset under pressure, from learning to step into uncomfortable moments rather than avoid them, to reframing success around daily values instead of results. His three guiding principles are simple but powerful: improve each day, help someone else improve, and if you fall short, try again tomorrow. There is also a strong performance lens throughout the conversation. Moises explains how experience shapes decision making in high pressure chases, why clarity beats emotion in key moments, and how confidence and flow can completely change execution, whether with bat or ball.More than anything, this episode is about growth. From losing his love for cricket to finding it again, Moises offers a perspective that goes beyond sport, one grounded in honesty, learning and the courage to face the moments that matter most.🔗 Show notesThis episode was Powered by Swyftx — Where can crypto take you?👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://swyftx.com/about/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join over 1.5m users in Australia and NZThe Do You Budget Segment is powered by PocketSmith.PocketSmith is personal finance software made for the household CFO — the one keeping the family budget on track, making sure the bills are paid, and the big goals are in sight. PocketSmith’s got a special offer for Scoreboard listeners: get 50% off your first two months of PocketSmith’s Foundation plan. 👉  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pocketsmith.com/scoreboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠More info:📌 More episodes: ⁠⁠www.scoreboardpodcast.com⁠⁠🎥 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Partnerships: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]
