We thought this terrific interview with Gilbert Enoka would provide value to all cricket players, coaches and club managers administrators.

Cat Peters from Grit and Greatness

When you join the NZ All Blacks Rugby Team, the legacy itself is far more intimidating than any opponent you’ll face.

Add to that the pressure, expectations and weight of a nation and you have the ultimate game within the game. We sit down with Gilbert Enoka - All Blacks Leadership Manager, internationally renowned mental skills coach and the man who's known for being able to get inside the heads of one of the greatest international sports team in history.

His true Kiwi, no b/s approach to greatness and the man who coined the 'No Dickheads' policy with a motto "if you can't change the people, change the people" has helped build one of the greatest and most revered cultures and proudest legacies of any team in history.

Join us as we get inside Gilbert's head and learn the tools and tactics to address resilience, pressure and manage expectations. Oh and we also find out just how bad the man cold really is (or isn't) when it hits the All Blacks camp...

Share Podcast with Rod Tucker | Life In Front And Behind The Wickets

Rod Tucker is a former Australian cricketer who has seamlessly transitioned into the realm of cricket umpiring at the highest level. Born on August 28, 1964, in Launceston, Tasmania, Tucker developed a passion for cricket from a young age, honing his skills both as a player and later as an umpire.

As a cricketer, Tucker was a talented left-handed batsman and a handy left-arm orthodox spinner. He made his first-class debut for Tasmania in the 1985-86 season, representing his state with distinction for over a decade. While his playing career didn't propel him to the upper echelons of international cricket, Tucker's understanding of the game and his astute judgment on the field laid the groundwork for his second innings in cricket - as an umpire.

Jamie Mitchell is a former Australian under-19s cricketer who now works at Autism Tasmania in a support coordination role.

Jamie courageously shared with me that he has been living with bottled up stress and PTSD for decades, after he was the victim of a traumatic incident that occurred while on a tour of India and Sri Lanka when he was 18. He has recently spoken out publicly about his sexual assault and the lack of support available for male survivors of sexual violence.

Jamie was open, vulnerable, and honest in discussing the impact it has had on himself and those around him. His story shines a light on the importance of creating an open conversation around Men’s mental health and male sexual abuse.
