Video Shout-Out from Brad Hogg

AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER / MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE / KEYNOTE SPEAKER / COMMENTATOR / PRESENTER / YOU TUBER / COACH

George Bradley "Brad" Hogg is the ultimate entertainer - a riveting Keynote Speaker.  Hoggy grew up on a large wheat and sheep farm in rural Western Australia who against all odds, became a two time World Cup Winning Australian Cricketer, Baggy Green #367.

As a left-arm wrist spin bowler, a lower-order left-handed batsman and an outstanding fielder, his international career saw him dominate the One Day International games as the preferred spinner at a time when Shane Warne held the Test spot. He is Australia's second most successful spinner in terms of wickets taken. 

He was a major factor in Australia's victorious 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cup wins. He retired from International cricket in 2008 due to family reasons, but made a surprise comeback to the T20 format at the inaugural Big Bash League in 2011 at the age of 38 after not having touched a bat or ball for 3 years.

His form was astounding and his boundless energy and zest for the great game soon saw Hoggy became a cult hero of theT20 format.  Astoundingly, he was even recalled to the Australian National Team in the 2012 and 2014 T20 World Cups and the age of 39 and 41 and was one of the most desirable players in the International T20 Franchises around the world including The Kolkata Knight Knight Riders and The Rajasthan Royals in the highly prestigious Indian Premier League, as well as South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and more.  Hoggy bcame the world's oldest top level cricket player, and the only player over 40 years of age to take 100 wickets in the T20 format. 

Hoggys infectious joy for life makes him a riveting and theatrical keynote speaker, loved for his dynamic onstage presence, affable charm, authenticity and jaw dropping honesty.  Even non cricket fans are dazzled by his personal story, dynamo and comedic energy.  In a room of thousands or 30, you can hear a pin drop when Hoggy hits the stage - he is simply mesmerising.

After releasing his autobiography 'The Wrong'Un' in 2016 where he admitted to struggling with his mental health against the landscape of his international cricket career, he became an Ambassador for Lifeline WA and is a passionate advocate for Mental Health.  He spends as much time as possible travelling the country talking to men, kids, clubs and communities to erase the stigma and promote healthy living.

He enjoys a career as a cricket commentator, specialist spin coach, You Tuber and is a popular Keynote Speaker.  Hoggy has a strong Social Media presence and following across the platforms of a million plus followers.  Hoggy is a 5 star entertainer, dedicated to achieving the clients vision and surpassing expectations everytime!

“I flew over from Europe to speak at an annual conference in Perth and found myself sharing the stage with "Hoggy".  Wow!! What a dynamo! Energised, enthused, engaged, he had the audience enraptured and enthralled as he rolled out his stories from victory to victim and back to victor.  A natural born story teller, a cheeky chap, a charming journey of underdog to super hero. One of the most riveting speakers I've seen in a long time, zesting up any event.”  Olivia Schofield, Top Female Speaker, World Championship of Public Speaking.

“The event was a huge success and CUB were really happy.  They had commented that at previous events it was difficult to hold the crowd’s attention but I was thrilled to hear not a single sound in the room while Brad was up on stage.  Hoggy was hilarious and stayed around afterwoods mingling with the guests for a while taking pics and signing things so that was wonderful.”  Carlton United Breweries
