Craig McDermott on becoming the game's fittest bowler, his business savvy and mentoring

This week I have the pleasure of speaking to one of Australia's, Queensland's and Ipswich's finest fast bowlers, Craig McDermott. Craig debuted for Australia at just 19, earning the nickname 'Billy the Kid' and quickly discovered what worked for him at the highest level. Billy goes into how he honed his bowling skills, how he became one of the fittest players in world cricket and how he has thrived in the business world once his playing days finished. This is an awesome episode with one of the true greats of the game.Episode rundown01:47 - Billy talks about two of his career highlights04:02 - How Billy hones his fast-bowling skills13:50 - How Billy managed his body through his career31:13 - Billy's coaching lessons learnt33:40 - The mental skills Billy used38:13 - How Billy interacted with the media41:22 - Investment and financial lessons48:55 - Billy's life mantra52:27 - The people who have influenced Billy57:33 - What Billy reads and watches Hosted on Acast.
