Corey Rocchiccioli is pushing to be Australia's next Test spinner having been the leading spin-bowler in Sheffield Shield cricket the past two seasons. It's not been a straight forward journey to become Western Australia's first-choice spinner though.
At 18, 'Roc' was playing 4th grade and after changing grade clubs, he was the 7th choice spinner at University CC. But through "being naive", a sheer love of cricket, curiosity and, an incredible work ethic, Rocchiccioli has been instrumental in Western Australia's back to back to back Sheffield Shield victories and is well and truly on the radar of the Aussie selectors.
I've been fortunate to have some amazing guests on The Cricket Mentoring Podcast. Corey Rocchiccioli isn't the biggest name we've had but this was the longest and most in depth and insightful chat we've ever had.
This podcast, broken into 2 episodes, is full of value and so many practical tips anyone can implement into their sport or life.
It's an inspiring story and one that has so much to still come. I hope you enjoy listening to/watching it as much as I did.
