Chris Tremain on how belief and luck to got him to the top

G’day legends! Welcome to this episode with one of Australian’s best fast bowlers.  

During my time in Melbourne, I sat down with New South Welshman turned Victorian Chris Tremain, who was recently voted the Sheffield Shield Player of the Year after an outstanding season that saw him take 51 wickets from 10 matches at an amazing average of 21. 

Chris is a country boy who loves to get out into nature and in the past few years has turned into one of Australia’s premier fast-bowlers. 

Like most successful athletes and most of the guests we’ve had on our show so far, he hasn’t had it all his own way though. 

After not getting offered a contract with NSW he shifted across the border to Victoria which he initially had some reservations about however he’s now extremely settled as a Bushranger and has carved out a very successful career even though he says he’s had a lot of luck along the way. 

With 4 One Day International under his belt, I’m sure he’s got a lot more international cricket ahead of him.

In this episode we discussed: 

How his first mentor helped him hone his skills from a young age and how he still helps him get out of bed when things are tough

How perception is reality and why that’s important

How his goals were to be a professional cricketer and how he always believed he would be even though now he believes there was a lot of luck involved. 

How making a conscious decision to give up alcohol helped shape his career.

How getting fitter and stronger helped him bowl faster and for longer.  

What the best players do to separate themselves from the rest

Plus a whole lot more

This is a brilliant episode with a very down to earth guy who is at the Peak of his powers. I’m sure you’re going to enjoy hearing Chris’s story as much as I did so let's get into it.
