This week, we are joined by former England international cricketer Nick Compton. Nick is the grandson of the great Dennis, but a very fine 1st class cricketer in his own right playing for Middlesex, Somerset and 16 tests for England scoring 2 centuries in that time.
Nick wrote his memoir 'Legacy' just last year and it is a moving, poignant, searingly honest, at times harrowing story of someone who was supremely talented at his craft, but for whom it became too all consuming and challenged Nick's mental health to the edge of his survival. Nick's psychological journey is the subject of this conversation.
Show notes:
- Nick's journey of self-discovery
- The mental marathon of performance
- The realities of life as a professional athlete, beyond the glamour and accolades
- The legacy and weight of family
- The complexities of team dynamics and personal sacrifice
- Hanging out with Virat Kohli’s girlfriend
