The Howie Games

#TheHowieGames | This week, one of the most frequently requested guests we get from you good people out there, "Mr Cricket" himself, Mike Hussey. The underlining theme of this chat is what drove Mike to achieve such wonderful success. The answer may well surprise you, as Huss was driven, in many respects, by self-doubt. The way he used what many would see as a huge negative and somehow turned it into an even bigger positive, it's a pretty unique approach. It certainly worked. Behind the scenes with one of Australia's greatest cricket teams. What more could ya want! ------ Follow The Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow The Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames Find Howie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkHoward03/ Follow Howie on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/markhoward03/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | Grant Hackett is a triple Olympic gold medalist, a giant of the pool. In my view, he is also the most focused, determined, driven athlete this podcast has ever featured. Grant’s views on races that he didn’t win, which are brutal, highlight why he was so good. For those wanting to know what type of sacrifices are required to truly be the best, this is the episode for you. These days Grant is in a great place. A successful businessman, a doting dad, relaxed family man and all round good bloke. I hope you love this episode as much as I do. ------ Follow The Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow The Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames Find Howie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkHoward03/ Follow Howie on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/markhoward03/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | Fawad Ahmed is a wonderful man with a remarkable story. Born in Pakistan, he always dreamed of playing cricket for his country of birth. That story was never to be, with Fawad leaving his homeland fearing for his life. Arriving in Australia Fawad had his cricket dream… but precious little else. Seeking asylum, Fawad went through all manner of highs and lows, including a 10 month period where he went from playing cricket for Hoppers Crossing, a suburban team in Melbourne’s west, to playing for Australia! This is a story that defies belief. ------ Follow The Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow The Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames Find Howie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkHoward03/ Follow Howie on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/markhoward03/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#TheHowieGames | This week’s episode features Scott McLaughlin, the hottest thing in V8 supercars. In his 7th full time season in the category, he has hordes of devoted fans who love his aggressive nature on the track and approachable nature off it. This bloke is the real deal with trophies galore to prove it. But for all his wins, it’s actually a loss in 2017 that has truly shaped Scott’s career and the man himself. Scotty takes this podcast into areas where it’s only been once before, with Cate Campbell, in describing the desolation and embarrassment, Scott’s words, not mine, that an athlete feels when they lose something everyone expected them to win. He then takes the show into unchartered areas with a fascinating explanation of what he did to rebuild his psyche and turn himself back into a winner. It’s raw, captivating and motivating.

#TheHowieGames | This week’s episode is the perfect example of all the good stuff in life. Going out on a limb, having a crack and defying the odds. It features a fantastic fellow by the name of Phil Anderson. Phil is a trailblazer in Australian cycling. The first non-European to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, victories in some of the biggest classics in the caper, a couple of Commonwealth Games gold medals and so much more. But the real joy in this episode for me is Phil’s ability to tell some incredible stories, about a time when sport wasn’t so professionally packaged, monitored and scientific. Phil’s was a wonderfully outrageous time of pre-race steaks, mid-race Coca Colas, no helmets, a lot of risk, long distance phone calls and fluoro! Real last man standing stuff.

#TheHowieGames | Sam Willoughby is a multiple world champion and Olympic silver medallist in the sport of BMX. 3 years ago Sam had an accident on his bike, where he tragically suffered a spinal injury that ended his career and changed his life forever.

#TheHowieGames | Joe and Renae Ingles are a remarkable couple for all sorts of reasons. There’s not much this episode doesn’t cover - Joe’s basketball journey from Adelaide, to Tel Aviv and then eventually Utah. From being without a job, to with Renae’s help and backing, becoming an NBA gun on an enormous contract. Plus we cover Renae’s netball career - from heartbreak to jubilation.

In this episode he is brutally honest about substance abuse and the terrible, terrible impact it once had on his life.

#TheHowieGames | Chris Lynn is a man known for hitting the ball big, and often. When Lynny walks to the wicket, the anticipation in the crowd rises, social media goes off, and tv ratings spike. He is box office. But more than that, Chris is at the forefront of a new generation of cricket.
