Knocked down time after time—and still, he got back up. And guess what? He went on to represent his country at the highest level, performing to the highest possible standard.
Alex Carey is living proof that you are not defined by your setbacks, but by how you respond to them.
When his AFL dreams were cut short, his state cricket contract torn up, and he found himself playing for just a dollar a run—he kept going. He pushed through it all and earned the ultimate reward: the baggy green.
Ashes wins. A World Cup. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A World Test Championship. BBL Titles and Sheffield Shields. Alex Carey achieved more than most dream of—well beyond his original goal of playing AFL.
Even better? He's a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
Alex Tyson Carey—this story couldn't come from a better bloke.
