Eddie Hearn talks to cricket legend Stuart Broad. He shares his journey as a professional athlete, his mental strategies in cricket, lessons on success, and his parents' influence.

His mother was determined to keep the game fun for him at all times irrespective of results, making him very much at home in a team led by Brendan McCullum that put an entertaining playing style and positive attitude ahead of winning.

Broad says he scoffed when his father, Chris, told him Test match cricket was 80 percent mental – but now believes that was an underestimate. And he tells Eddie how writing down his feelings and concerns about the day ahead helps him take action to keep focused; about the importance of staying in the moment; and about setting new goals for himself now he’s retired.
