The Inside Edge

Corey Rocchiccioli | Third grade to professional cricketer through stillness, authenticity & depth

Episode 16

Our guest this week is Corey Rocchiccioli,  contracted cricketer with WA, the Perth scorchers and University CC. Although not a household name yet, he has an unbelievable journey that includes going from 3rd grade to state cricket in 5 years.  Corey is one of the most incredible young men I've ever met. He is only 23, works harder than anyone I have seen, yet does it from a place of authenticity. Most people who work at that level do so from a place of fear, of some need that they have to excel or they will be a failure. Corey is special, in that he genuinely loves the journey and leads from the inside out. He has developed a framework to live his life around 4 pillars and a range of values beneath them. These have come from adversity as well as drinking deeply from good books listening to podcasts and surrounding himself with good people. Most importantly he attributes his incredible growth to the courage to be himself, to be present to each moment, and bring that best self to the task at hand. Easy to say, not always easy to do, but Corey goes a long way to living this way and the external results are there to show for it. I hope you enjoy it.
