This week on the Ball & All Podcast we welcome a man described by Andy King as the 'Keyser Soze' of Australian Surf Coaching - Mick Cain.  Sharing a few of the better traits of the character made famous in the cult movie 'The Usual Suspects' - Cainy prefers to steer clear of the limelight and let the actions his surfers do the talking.   An incredible surfer in his own right, Cainy has seen it all in the industry - through traveling the WQS & Australian tours in the early 90's to owning multiple surf related businesses to where he is now -  managing and developing some of Australia's best young talent such as Matt Banting, Noa Deane, Soli Bailey and Macy Callaghan.  Tune in as we take a deep dive into the  nitty gritty of high performance surfing and find out what one of the best in the business looks for when developing young surfers.  

Also on the podcast this week, we take the nuggets of gold from our last episode with Dean Davies, we thank the Station Grocer for their very generous donation to the Trojan Juniors and we go  'Around the Grounds' and get the latest from the NFL draft, Silver Lake Private Equity's 12% purchase of the NZ All Blacks and we celebrate what has been a long time between drinks with both the Tigers and Broncos winning at the weekend.
