Today’s guest is one of the most successful coaches in the world and as I coach myself I was thrilled to pick the brains of one of the best. Greg Shipperd had an excellent career as a player scoring almost 7,000 first-class runs at an average over 42 with a highest-score of 200* but I think it’s fair to say, he’s made even more of an impact on the game as a coach.    Shipperd started his coaching in Tasmania where he mentored young guns Ricky Ponting and Shane Watson before he shifted to coach Victoria in one of their most successful eras. In all he coached the Vics to 4 Sheffield Shield titles, one National One-Day Cup and four T20 titles.  He was also the inaugural coach of the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League for 4 seasons and most recently just become a big bash winning coach as his Sydney Sixers side just won BBL09.  This is a really insightful conversation with someone I really admire and hope to learn more from as my coaching career progresses. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
