Allan Border on mental toughness, leadership and never backing down

Allan Border was one of my childhood heroes and I am so lucky to be speaking to him on this episode of Lessons Learnt with the Greats. Allan is Australia's longest-serving Test captain, leading his country to World Cup glory and Ashes success, and is one of the finest batsmen the game has ever seen. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I do.Episode rundown02:17 - My favourite highlights of AB's magnificent career02:58 - AB's stand out moments06:05 - AB's batting technical components11:23 - AB on what made him a brilliant fielder18:18 - How AB managed his body over his career26:11 - AB's insights on leadership30:58 - AB's mental skills and how he developed them43:03 - How AB has handled the media49:12 - AB's financial advice59:18 - AB's mantra on lifeYouTube linksAB's 205 v New Zealand 1987/88 https://youtu.be/W0d3KSOOYM8 Hosted on Acast.
