In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Moises Henriques for a deeply honest conversation about performance, pressure and rediscovering joy in the game. From Big Bash finals to back surgery and a career shaped by resilience, Moises reflects on the physical and mental toll of elite cricket and how he has learned to navigate both.
Moises opens up about the turning point in his career when fear of failure began to outweigh his love for the game. Once a player who thrived in big moments, he found himself withdrawing from pressure situations, worried about letting the team down. What followed was a period of self reflection and emotional work to change how he viewed failure, shifting from fear to growth and from avoidance to ownership.
He shares practical insight into mindset under pressure, from learning to step into uncomfortable moments rather than avoid them, to reframing success around daily values instead of results. His three guiding principles are simple but powerful: improve each day, help someone else improve, and if you fall short, try again tomorrow.
There is also a strong performance lens throughout the conversation. Moises explains how experience shapes decision making in high pressure chases, why clarity beats emotion in key moments, and how confidence and flow can completely change execution, whether with bat or ball.
More than anything, this episode is about growth. From losing his love for cricket to finding it again, Moises offers a perspective that goes beyond sport, one grounded in honesty, learning and the courage to face the moments that matter most.

In this special episode of Scoreboard’s Behind the Scenes of Sport mini-series, Chris Titley is joined again by Stu Smith for a practical and honest conversation about human performance, daily habits and whether the tools used by elite athletes can genuinely apply to everyday life. The episode begins with Chris reflecting on his own experience through the Vitalis Institute program, and the habits that have stayed with him. From reducing screen time and putting the phone away before bed, to breathing, journaling, sitting outside without devices and being more prepared for the next day, the conversation shows how small changes can start to shift energy, headspace and relationships. Stu explains why high performance is not just for professional athletes, CEOs or people on big stages. The same principles that help a cricketer walk out to bat or a snowboarder prepare for a run can also help a parent get through a busy week, a business owner manage stress, or anyone trying to be more present at home. The focus is on clarity, emotional control, recovery, physical capacity, relationships and a stronger sense of agency. A big part of the conversation centres on phones, screens and the pull of easy dopamine. Chris talks openly about becoming more aware of his own phone habits, how often he was reaching for it, and the impact that can have on family life. Stu breaks down why attention matters, why constant stimulation can affect headspace, and why learning to pause before acting on an impulse is such an important skill. The episode also explores self-talk, the “chimp” in your head, victim mindset, acceptance, resilience and the power of shifting language from “I have to” to “I get to”. Chris and Stu discuss how these ideas show up in sport, work and family life, and how small moments of awareness can help people move away from frustration, comparison and distraction. This is a conversation about control, responsibility and building better habits one choice at a time. The message is simple: high performance strategies are not reserved for elite athletes. They are tools for anyone who wants to feel better, think clearer, connect more deeply and perform well in the life they are already living.
In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley is joined by Teremoana Teremoana, undefeated heavyweight boxer and Australian Olympian, for a grounded and honest conversation about boxing, family, faith and the journey from reluctant fighter to world title ambition. Teremoana reflects on a strong 2026, being undefeated for the year and continuing to build his record as a professional. He talks about learning from every fight, enjoying the process, and adjusting to the parts of the sport that now sit outside the ring, from sponsors and podcasts to meeting business people and building a team around him. The conversation goes back to his early years in rugby league, where he dreamed of playing for the New South Wales Blues and ran around for Centenary Panthers. Boxing was not his first love. In fact, he admits he did not really like it as a young fighter, but did it out of respect for his father, who wanted him to learn discipline, confidence and how to protect his family. Teremoana also shares the turning point that changed everything. After his grandfather passed away, he asked people to start calling him by his first name, Teremoana, and soon after made the decision to chase the dream of becoming heavyweight world champion. He left behind plans for a plumbing business, travelled Australia with his family, came back to Brisbane with $120 to his name, and committed the next decade of his life to boxing. There is plenty on preparation, mindset and the reality of the sport. Teremoana talks about trusting his coaches, building a tight team, finding the right fighting weight, improving his nutrition, and showing up every day for the one percent gains. He also opens up on faith, nerves, visualisation, training twice a day, recovery, golf, and why boxing still comes down to doing the work and listening well. This is a conversation about purpose, sacrifice and knowing why you are stepping into the ring. For Teremoana, the fight is bigger than himself. It is about family, Cook Islands heritage, faith, and inspiring the next generation to believe there is more possible for them too.
