Chapter 3: How does Ellyse manage social anxiety in her career?
For so many Australians, Elyse Perry has represented excellence for such a long time. The youngest player ever to debut for the Australian cricket team and the only person ever to have played for Australia in both football and cricket World Cups, it is an easy assumption to make that Elyse is the best athlete in Australia.
And my mum kind of looking at me and being like, are you OK? And I was like, I don't want to do it. And she said to me, like, I really think that if you don't go and try and you don't put yourself on that start line, you'll remember the feeling of that for a long time.
It's about going out there and feeling what's possible and what it's like to be a human and have these, like, I guess, insecurities or frailties, but still go and do it anyway.
MUSIC
I mean this in the best way, but you don't carry yourself as someone who is like the best.
I don't stand there going, I'm a gnarly cricket player.
Yeah, no, that definitely comes across. I mean, who uses the word gnarly either?

Chapter 4: What is Ellyse's perspective on success versus trying?
And cricket in the same sense. That's a great pun. G'day, Elyse Perry, gnarly cricket player.
We're all imperfect. And on this podcast, I'll be chatting with a variety of interesting people who are willing to make themselves vulnerable by sharing their own struggles and imperfections. I'm Hugh van Kylenburg from The Resilience Project.
Chapter 5: How does Ellyse handle disappointment in sports?
And I'm Ryan Shelton from My Mum.
Chapter 6: What role does ego play in Ellyse's athletic performance?
And I'm Josh from Hugh's Mum. And this is The Imperfects.
Whoa! Whoa! I knew you were going to do a cricket joke.
I knew it. Oh, it's just a cricket action. Yeah. Pool shot. It was very good.
Pool shot. Beautiful. Nice one as well. Am I right in saying, is the reason we're talking about cricket, obviously, unless Perry's here today.
Is it true that in the olden days when they would do the broadcast for the cricket on the radio and the wireless, they didn't have a microphone in the field, so you couldn't actually hear the sound of the ball hitting the bat, so they would hit a pencil or something on a wooden block? On the table.

Chapter 7: How does Ellyse practice mindfulness and presence?
On the table.
True. True. Yeah.
What will they think of next? So is that AI? Well, okay. So Elyse Perry. Yes.
One of the greatest cricketers of all time. Very exciting for so many reasons. So I was texting two different people this morning and I told them both we're having Elyse Perry on the podcast. I realized there are two people whose opinion I respect more than anyone on cricket. The first one was Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins. And the second one was our dad. Really? Yeah.
Dad knows his cricket, loves his cricket. And I told him we had a list period and he wrote back a summary of her, basically, which was great. He said- Is that AI? He said, technically correct batter, great competitor, very athletic with extremely good game instincts and a bowling action like Imran Khan. Wow.
And Pat Cummins said, I think her first half of her career, she was one of the best and fastest bowlers in the world. Then second half, one of the top tier batters. Not many cricketers have ever done that. Always admired her longevity in the sport and always a lovely person. Which I think is a lovely summary. Yeah, very astute.
Yeah. Lovely summary. So, Elise Perry, in this episode, we speak a bit about the perspective she has on being one of the best players in the world and how she sees cricket as a part of life, not everything in life. She speaks beautifully about her relationship with her dad, which is so nice and refreshing to hear such a positive relationship between a sports star and their parent.
She also talks about her struggles with social anxiety, which I think is, I found really interesting because we expect so much of sports people, I think, through their work in the media to be so concerned So big and so charismatic and so social, whereas she speaks really beautifully and honestly about, I think, a general struggle with anxiety and social situations, which I thought was refreshing.
Totally. And you're going to talk afterwards?

Chapter 8: What insights does Ellyse share about her identity beyond sports?
Actually, the question I ask every kid at like a... At a training thing? At a clinic.
Over the wicket or around the wicket?
Right, left-handed, spin, pace.
But don't avoid the question. Do you like batting or bowling more?
I actually, I like both. Yeah. But I think mainly because it sort of keeps you in the game the whole time, as we might have just mentioned, it goes for a long time. So it's nice to do both.
Would you rather make a hundred or take a five? I'm really trying to get an answer here.
Oh, I feel like maybe take a fiver.
Interesting. Let's think about this for a bit. Let's spend at least five minutes thinking about this and not cut it down. Okay, can we please pump up Elise Perry and explain to everyone who doesn't realise how incredible this woman is?
So, like, we'll just do a tight shot at Elise while I read this because she's going to be incredibly awkward. It'll be great viewing, so... So here is your buy that we've written. So just so people don't think you've written this, which I don't know why you would have.
