EP011 – Athlete – Moises Henriques on Identity, Vulnerability, Mental Health and the Courage to Fail.

Moises Constantino Henriques is an Australian professional cricketer who currently plays for New South Wales; and was recently selected in the Australia A to play India after an incredible start to the 2020/21 season.

Moises is a leader. He is process-focused; which I love and support.

Born to a former Portuguese professional footballer, sport fast became how Moises’ formed his identity. However, in the years to follow, in the midst of a stellar international cricket career, he was diagnosed with clinical depression. Deciding he needed to step away from the game he loved to reassess his future, both on a professional and personal level, Moises had to rebuild himself from the ground up.

In this conversation, Moises provides incredible insight into the tools and strategies he used to resurface from the depths of depression and come back to his best – his ‘personal best’ - this time was going to be a labour of love over fear.

His approach is extremely valuable, consistent and replicable.

This episode is one for anyone looking to improve their mindset, performance and mental health.
