Today on Captains we have something a little something different for you. We've teamed up with Jonny Wilkinson's podcast called I Am... and we have an episode you might enjoy with Australian cricket icon Justin Langer.
I Am... is all about human potential. Through discussions about peace and performance, it can take you to places you might not expect.
Justin Langer has had a brilliant sporting career - both as a key member of a legendary Australian national team and as a coach. During Justin’s tenure in charge of the squad, they went on to take back the ashes, win their first ever T20 World Cup and earn their way back to the coveted number 1 World ranking spot.
If you enjoyed this, listen to more episodes over on the I Am... feed and be sure to keep your eye out for Jonny’s episode of Captains, coming soon.

“I’ve never once tried to make an excuse for any of my behaviours in the past. The hardest part is owning who you actually are.”
This week on Captains Sam is joined by Troy Deeney.
The Birmingham City captain opens up about his tough upbringing and discusses how those early life-changing experiences - including a prison sentence - helped shaped his leadership style later in his career.
Having captained teams involved in both promotions and relegations, Troy talks about the motivation needed when leading during difficult periods, as well as the importance of showing respect and being responsible for your own actions.
