One of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life, it doesn’t seem fair what Sam has had to go through in his blossoming career. From a young age Sam has been touted as a future Australian test cricketer, a man with enormous talent. His journey to the top has been obvious for so many given his talent, but what he has had to go through to get there hasn’t.

Sam speaks about the incident that put him in hospital for 3 weeks. An incident so bad that he wasn’t even thinking about getting back onto the cricket field, but to get back to the smaller things in life, like being able to walk again and even watch TV. Even though it wasn’t a great time in his life, Sam speaks about how it taught him so many lessons about resilience, mental health and how important gratitude is.
