Welcome to the Cricket Mentoring podcast. I’m Tom Scollay or Scolls as I get called and this podcast has been designed for cricketers and cricket lovers who want to learn and improve themselves. In this podcast we interview past, current and future cricket stars to find out more about their journey and what makes them successful while also sharing some audio from ourselves at Cricket Mentoring. Our goal is to help you become your best, on and off the field so I hope you enjoy this podcast and get something valuable out of it. In this episode, we chat with BBL Cricketer Jon Wells. After returning back to Perth from a very impressive BBL campaign, we sat down with Wells to discuss how he got to where he is now, and what is next for him.We discuss:  - How he prepared for the BBL while being out of the professional system - How he came back from losing his professional contract 4 times - How he moved from Tassie to Perth on the promise he’d get opportunities if he did well - How he got a call from the Australian chairman of selectors  - How he had to work as a labourer while training to keep his cricket dream alive - What Ricky Ponting was like behind closed doors   Make sure to follow him on instagram @jwells_9
