EPISODE 14: F*ck, I’ve Still Got It! with Shane Watson
-------------------------
In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I sit down with cricketing legend turned mindset coach Shane Watson, or Watsy, as I know him.
From smashing sixes in front of packed stadiums to coaching in the IPL, from slow-cooked brisket marathons to school sport sidelines, Watsy’s story is about more than cricket. It’s about pressure, perfectionism, failure, freedom, and why the second act might just be the best one yet.
We dive into what it really takes to walk away from a career that defined you, how he built BEON Performance to help others master the inner game, and the surprising parallels between a World Cup final and cooking meat for a pack of hungry kids.
This isn’t just for sports fans. It’s for anyone standing on the edge of change, asking “what now?”
-------------------------
This episode gets into:
🏏 The mindset spirals of elite sport and how Watsy learned to shut them down
🔥 Walking away from cricket (and rebuilding identity without the scoreboard)
💭 Why perfectionism nearly broke him and how he finally let it go
🥩 The life lessons of BBQ smoking, brisket fails, and hungry kids
🎙 How BEON Performance is changing the game for athletes, execs & everyday people
👨👩👧 Fatherhood, resilience, and teaching kids to bounce back from failure
🌅 Why Uluru is on his “Try This Before 50” list and should be on yours too
-------------------------
Watsy brings honesty, discipline, and plenty of laughs to a conversation that will make you rethink pressure, purpose, and what it means to start again.
Whether you’re battling burnout, building your next chapter, or just love a good story about tacos, junkets, and the lessons hidden in failure, this one’s for you.
Hit play, back yourself, and remember: you’ve still bloody got it. 💥
