The Howie Games

#TheHowieGames | In her day, Lauren Jackson was universally regarded as the best player in women’s basketball.  Her honour role is outrageous. 4 Olympic medals (3 silvers and a bronze), a World Championship, countless domestic titles all around the globe, MVP’s and Flag Bearer at the London Olympics. This is a serious resume.  But, Lauren’s journey wasn’t always an easy one. Along with the trophie...

#TheHowieGames | Kevin Muscat has been on an incredible football journey. From Wembley to World Cup qualifiers, being labelled a hard man, that penalty at the MCG, Melbourne Victory and coaching in the A-League, Kevin has seen it all. But what I love about this episode is when Kev talks about throwing it all in for one, gutsy, almighty punt. A punt that which paid off in spades when Kev was named...

#TheHowieGames | Nat Fyfe is one of my favourite footballers.  A two-time Brownlow Medallist and captain of Fremantle, he is a great player to watch and an exciting player to call. But more than that, I enjoy all the other sides of Nat that you don’t see on field.  His love of surfing, his off season travelling, driving big rigs, business dealings and his generally inquisitive nature.  That’s all...

#TheHowieGames | Finally, we've come good with a rugby league guest. I know the wait has been long, but hopefully it's been worth it!  For mine, there’s no better person to speak league with than premiership player and legendary coach, Craig Bellamy.  For a man that has achieved so much in the game, Craig is not a man we know a great deal about.  In this episode, Craig speaks in depth about coachi...

#TheHowieGames | Patty Mills is one of a kind. I came away from this episode thinking he is a very special person.  If you combine Patty's background, his upbringing, his desire to succeed, his leadership, his work as a role mode and a spokesman, his empathy and care for others, his love and sharing of his culture and his ability to hit massive 3 point bombs….Well, all that makes for a very powerf...

#TheHowieGames | In the heady days of the 1980’s, where New Zealand were rolling out in the brown and beige kit, Ian Smith was a mainstay of the Kiwi team. A wicketkeeper and lower order bat, Ian played 63 tests and 98 ODIs for the black caps.  After retiring from the game, Ian took up cricket and rugby broadcasting. Due to his passion, excitement and energy, he is my favourite cricket broadcaster...
