Mickey Arthur encourages coaches
Speaking to local community members, teachers and coaches, Mickey also provided
insight into the Australian Cricket Team’s dressing room. He spoke in-depth about
leadership and was very open with his leadership approach and impact on the
Australian Cricket Team. His knowledge and experiences allowed all who attended to
gain practical and useful examples to take to their local teams.
