Robbie is a man who confronts death frequently. The way he talks about it, rationalises it and thinks about is a phenomenal insight into the mind of people who are prepared to risk everything to chase their dreams.

On November 6, 2007 - a decade before he fought off a shark - Mick Fanning awoke in Brazil, his lifelong dream within touching distance. However, Mick’s journey to the pinnacle of the surfing world was anything but easy. 

This is the story of sacrifice and triumph. A story of dealing with unimaginable tragedy and coming out the other side.

#TheHowieGames | Mark Waugh was statistically a wonderful player for Australia, but the numbers do not tell the true story of why Mark is such a loved figure among cricket fans. M.E. Waugh batted with a style few have ever matched to see him bat was to witness artistry and grace in action. This episode covers Mark's brilliant sporting life from the highs of a century on debut to the lows of the negative media spotlight. Junior is funny, direct and reflective. (Make sure you keep an ear out for a couple of cameos from some old teammates!)

Next week on The Howie Games: Lydia Lassila
