I'm blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.

My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

I have a senior staff meeting every day, with key personnel who interface with the players - coaches, the medical staff, our analyst department. This is a useful exercise as it means we are all across what is happening and they are aware of my expectations.

It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

Even more important than statistics is then having the staff that can take the data and ensure it's presented in a way that improves individuals and teams.

My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.
