Private pro-sport pages.Coach Walsh Pro Sport Pages (a survival guide).From giving autographs after competing to being recognised whilst shopping to being criticised by spectators to media scrutiny; the hardest part of being a pro athlete is often not the sport itself. Sport history is littered with stories of 'failed-heroes' who simply couldn't cope with everything that came with being an elite performer. The problem is amplified by the fact that there is no single answer or coping mechanism to turn to. We are all unique; we all have to find our own way. These pages are designed specifically to help the Scorchers find playing success and off-court happiness and fulfilment.
