From Cricket Pitches over Broadcast Booths to Coach: Jason de la Pena on Mentorship, Coaching, and Media Evolution

Jason de la Pena is a former professional cricket player and an Ex - FOX Sports, ESPN and Sky News Broadcaster/Journalist/Anchor and now the Owner of 3Cricket in Singapore. In this podcast episode, Jason and myself start off by talking about his past cricket career, the importance of role models and people that can guide you along the way. We then continued to talk about his role as a coach when coaching younger age groups. We discuss why Jason coaches, what he wants to get across as a coach, preparation and the importance of looking at every detail when coaching. Further into the podcast we talk about Jason's challenging transition period from being an athlete to broadcaster and the importance of having people around you in that time. We end the episode by speaking about the change from old to new media, as Jason gives his own personal view. And of course, we also spoke about his past career in Sports Broadcasting, some great moments and memories, as well as challenges. Enjoy!
