This Sporting Wife

NSW Breakers cricketer - and complete life overachiever - Trent Copeland gets into the nitty gritty of cricket - the absolute mental toughness a player needs; his career path from country cricketer to debuting for Australia at the SCG; the grand scale of success that exists in the game; the current playing crop and state of Aussie cricket; and why he had to stop wearing the gloves. He talks about Phillip Hughes’s death and how it’s affected him and other players as a person and a player and how their instincts are now more welfare-first. Plus there’s fantasy sports - especially the American leagues, his efforts as a teen to play every sport he could, coaching kids and the obstacles his marriage to netballer Kim Green faces as they both manage their playing schedules. He studies, trains, plays, coaches, commentates! But don’t try to take him on in anything, he’s ultra-competitive and you’d probably go down!
