Ashes Diaries: Episode 2 - Ouch
Manage episode 515201926 series 1511924
Before the Ashes roar to life, the real battles — of mind, body and preparation — are already underway.
We dive into the never heard before prep that keeps Australia’s stars sharp and grounded. Alex Carey opens up on the mental side of elite cricket — the mantras, mindfulness, and mindset that help him reset and perform under pressure. From Ben Crowe’s wisdom to his own evolving self-talk, Carey’s reflections are as raw as they are relatable.
Meanwhile, Mitch Starc begins the long road back to the Ashes — through intense medical appointments, rehab, and a mini pre-season grind. It’s an intimate look at the pain, the persistence, and the passion driving one of the game’s great fast bowlers.
Mind and body. Reflection and recovery. Episode 2 peels back the layers of what it really takes to stay in the fight — mentally and physically — on the path to Ashes glory.
