2020-08-171h 06The Cricket Mentoring PodcastThe 6 Pillars of Success - Tom ScollayI now know what makes Steve Smith, Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson so special. They understand themselves and know what they need to do in order to prepare themselves in all 6 pillars, so that they have the best chance of succeeding, every time they step onto the field.
