A fantastic insight into the cricketing story of Jason ‘Dizzy’ Gillespie. From the cricket obsessed young boy in Sydney right the way through to leaving his mark on English county cricket and returning to be Head Coach back in South Australia.
Dizzy shares some brilliant insights into how he became the cricketer he did, the key influences along the way and how and why they helped him and also the approach and philosophy he now takes as a Head Coach into building performance teams and cultures in cricket.
True to form Jason shares his story in the most genuine and humble way – yet with a real steeliness, determination, and ambition.
This is a must listen to conversation if you are parent, coach, sports fan or even a business leader interested in performance and learning environments. There is something in here for everyone!
Beware – there is no mention of that extremely high batting score he made as a night watchman in his final test!

2
The theme of importance of trust came through in the conversation…
What is your relationship with ‘trust’? Do you trust others until it is broken or do people have to earn your trust in advance?
