#165: Adam Voges (Cricket) Clarity, Culture and Coaching the Next Generation

Chris Titley sits down with Adam Voges to explore the journey from elite player to high performance coach and the lessons that carry across both roles. From winning Big Bash titles to earning a Baggy Green later in his career, Adam reflects on the mindset, resilience and understanding of the game that shaped his success. Adam shares how his greatest strength as a batter was reading the game and understanding what it required in different moments. That same skill now underpins his coaching, where clarity of role and empowering players to make decisions are central to building high performing teams. He explains how modern coaching has evolved, with more staff, better resources and a greater focus on creating environments where players can thrive rather than simply being told what to do. The conversation also dives into leadership. Adam reflects on stepping straight into a head coaching role, the early challenges of finding his own voice, and the importance of authenticity over trying to replicate others. He speaks openly about tough conversations, managing relationships with former teammates and helping players navigate both opportunity and disappointment. There is a strong thread around development and purpose. For Adam, success as a coach is not just measured by trophies but by helping players grow, whether that is a debut cap for a young cricketer or seeing players reach the international stage. He also shares his passion for the longer form of the game and his hope that Test cricket and the Sheffield Shield continue to thrive alongside the global growth of T20 leagues. 🔗 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]
