The Howie Games

“Even though I was in so much pain, I had another gear” Jana Pittman is one of the most determined athletes to ever feature on this pod. Dual 400m hurdles World Champion, the first Australian woman to compete at a summer and winter Olympics, doctor, mother, and inspiration to a large cross-section of the community. Jana's story is one of great success, injury, devastating defeats, and at times living under brutal scrutiny of the public eye. But Jana Pittman is never beaten. Ever. She is a wonderful athlete and a wonderful person. From the joy and pain of competition, to the beautiful descriptions of donor children, this is one to inspire you all. Jana Pittman rocks ❤️ ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The way I blocked it out was singing the Frozen song"  Mitchell Johnson didn’t follow your typical Australian cricket pathway.  He was spotted by the great Dennis Lillee in his late teens and all of a sudden found himself at the cricket academy. He had wanted to play tennis.  From there, it was quite the ride. Dominance, then injury, then his form dipped as he was struck by mental and physical anguish, then he roared back and delivered one of the truly great Ashes series by an Aussie bowler…whilst rocking a truly epic moustache!  In his own quiet, softly spoken way, Mitch explains that life at the top isn’t always easy. He talks about living with depression, his love of family, and his fierce desire to win. ❤️ ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I had to buy my own whites for my first Test"  Allan Border is my sporting hero.  From when I was little fella playing backyard cricket, right up to today, where I am privileged enough to make his coffee at Fox Cricket.  This ep tells the story of the life and times of one of Australian cricket's true greats. It also features my A.B scrapbook, which goes back 30 years, highlighting all sorts of stuff A.B had never seen, or has long forgotten.  A.B has achieved it all in the world of cricket, yet speaks with the humility of a man who has achieved nothing.  Allan Border is a legend ❤️  ------------ Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
