Last night I went to the Men's Shed in Bulleen to see Ben Cousins . We all know he was an amazing footballer.
What I went there to hear, was how he got to the here right now. What kind of person he came out as.
Through all the sh*te moments on that road he went down. He talked about those times and was open and honest which is refreshing. He said community is key.. Local community. How dancing is his happy place.
Understanding an athletes mind is good to know. In Ben's case I wanted to hear were he grew as a human and how he reflected back on that part of his life.
Wasn't dissapointed.
