Pro Cricketer Phoebe Graham on how 'it's never too late to change direction'

The Book Of Firsts - A podcast by Emma Tindall - Thursdays

Phoebe’s twenties could quite easily be perceived as a classic romantic-comedy, with cricket playing the lead role that would usually go to Hugh Grant... Starting off the decade with the dream of becoming a pro cricketer, Phoebe competed at club and county level. However when she was just 23, her father sadly passed away, causing Phoebe to re-evaluate her reasons for playing, resulting in taking a time out from cricket to focus on herself and her career.  She spent the rest of the decade working her way up the corporate ladder in Brand Management, until last year when she decided to return to the sport and give her dream another go...Phoebe and I talk all things cricket, grief, taking time outs, sacrifices, women in sport, and how it is NEVER too late to change direction... Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week was; “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." ― Maya Angelou Hosted on Acast.
