"I was lucky to cross paths with Mick as a young athlete joining the Tasmanian cricket team. His immense knowledge of cricket and developing athletes was incredible and his experience of a wide range of cricket roles give him a unique experience and a huge amount of skills to get the best out of all people. Mick shows incredible care for all athletes he works with and genuinely wants to get the best out of you.  I was also lucky to cross paths with Mick as a fire fighter, he was a very well respected and a great leader as a senior firefighter when I started and was instrumental in helping me become the fire fighter I am today.
