Another podcast and we inch closer to our 500th show, and as usual there is plenty to talk about and another great guest.
“Culture” is a word that is bandied about in sport today with remarkable regularity, but how do you get it, do you have it and can anyone get it? On this show our guest is Brian Fitzpatrick from Headspace who currently works with the Australian Kookaburras in maintaining and evolving their successful Culture. Brian generously shares some of the things that have been put in place to create a culture that breeds success. There are some incredible insights which are as appropriate in sport as they are in business.
In our points under discussion first up we look at the decision made by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to opt not to buy the radio broadcast rights of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. With the financial cuts imposed was this in fact a very prudent move? Is it a play for the Government to find the money to cover the cost? If the audience is decreasing, due to so many other options to pick up coverage of the Games is this the right decision? Have the people spoken by using those other options?
Mental health in sport has become a major talking point and once again we are seeing cricketers taking a break from the game. Why do mental issues seem to plague Cricketers? Are we putting too much pressure on our elite athletes? Or is it in their development that the problem occurs where honesty is no longer a coaching policy? How many of our elite athletes still enjoy the game they play?
As always we hope that you enjoy the show, and please feel free to share your thoughts and the Podcast.

Thank you All White as always for your comment. I agree that Brian Fitzpatrick was superb and explained everything in a very easy to understand way.
Thank you once again.
Can I just say I think that this is possibly your best podcast yet? I love them all but I could nt stop listening to this.
Your guest was outstanding in explaining Culture and you can see why the Kookaburras are a credit to Australia. Every business and sporting club should listen to this and dare I say our poilticians?!
Then you talk on the mental health of cricketers and the ABC and the Olympics made so much sense.
Always been a fan but this was outstanding. Thank you.
