Back to School With Mitch Marsh
What's it like to grow up in a cricketing family?
This post is presented in partnership with Monash Business School.
Student Edge's webseries Back to School With invites Australia's most interesting and successful people to share stories from their school days. In each ep, they let us know how they landed their dream careers, as well as how they faced all those inevitable obstacles of teenagerdom along the way.
Over six seasons, we've interviewed Jimmy Barnes, Amy Shark, Julie Bishop, Saroo Brierley, Samantha Jade, Dr. Karl, Daniel Ricciardo, Rachel Perkins, Ita Buttrose, Tom Ballard, Layne Beachley, John Marsden and many, many other fascinating peeps.
But a new term brings a new season and even more incredible Aussie stories.
In the sixth episode of Season Seven, we chat with Australian cricketer Mitch Marsh. He told us what it felt like to represent Australia on an international level, how he and his brother Shaun support one another, and what it was like to start playing professionally as a teenager.
"To be brutally honest, I probably wasn't quite ready to begin a career, but I've learnt so many things over the last eight years of playing professional sport. I think it's held me in good stead, not only for the future after cricket, but right now, I've just learnt so much, so, I've had some pretty amazing experiences at a young age, and I'm forever grateful for that to cricket."
Check out our chat. (NB: This interview was filmed in April, soon after Mitch was injured.)
Stay tuned: We'll be dropping new episodes each Tuesday. Join us as we venture back in time with another Aussie legend every week!
