E5: Gary Keedy talks 23 years of professional cricket and the life after elite sport with Jane & Liv

In this episode we chat to our very good friend, Gary Keedy, professional ex cricketer who played for Yorkshire, Lancashire, Surrey and Nottinghamshire. Gary is a family man; husband to Andrea, father to Erin, identical twin, son and brother. As a left handed spin bowler he had a prolific career for 23 years.  Gary left school with 4 GCSE's but revisited education to train as a physio alongside the latter years of cricket to plan for his retirement from the sport. He wanted to impact the recovery from injury and rehabilitation in sport. He coached spin bowling and is now a sales professional in the medical technology industry.   He is passionate about sportspeople considering a life after the career ends and the younger players arrive on the scene. As a sportsman in a suit now, a career he loves, he would not change a thing, he loved his life in cricket and every chapter has brought so much learning. Topics: -The life of a professional cricketer, the coaches, training and mindset -The mentors and teachers that have had a profound affect on his career -Family life alongside the life as a professional sportsperson  -Crossroads and navigating future chapters after professional sport -Controlling the controllables and much more……….
