Kate Cross is an international cricketer currently in Australia as part of the England squad for the world cup.
You’ll hear throughout this episode how open and honest she was about her life and career in cricket.
While she’s had a career to be proud of, she’s also had her fair share of challenges and hardships which culminated in her being too scared to see her teammates during a training camp. It led to her stepping away from the game for a break and to work through her mental health battles which have since been well documented.
She says that she now understands that managing her mental health is an ongoing process but since then she’s been able to work her way back into the England team and is enjoying her cricket again.
Crossy shared so many wonderful stories from learning to play cricket in the backyard with her brother to the difficulties that come with being a professional sportsperson and how it can cause you to stop enjoying the game you love.
This is an incredibly powerful episode and I thank Crossy for being so open and honest with us.
