This week, ahead of the start of the 2020 V8 supercars series, we caught up with young driver Todd Hazelwood.Hazelwood will race in the #14 for Brad Jones Racing in 2020 and it will be his third year in the competition.He is widely considered one of the most promising motorsport prospects in the country but certainly had to work hard to get where he is today.Hazelwood spent day and night fundraising for his motorsport dreams as a kid, selling Freddo Frogs at school and running sausage sizzles for years on end.We spoke about how he got the racing bug early in his life at barely 6 months old, how much time he had to dedicate to fundraising as a kid who just loved to race and we spoke about that spectacular 2017 crash at Sandown where his main concern was just getting straight back for the next race.Remember, if you enjoy this episode of the podcast, leave a rating and a comment on iTunes and subscribe to make sure you're the first to catch our episodes with some of the best up and coming athletes in Australia.For more Sporting News Australia content, head over to www.sportingnews.com/au/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Subscribe to SN's YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2BQiI7pCatch up with Sporting News Australia on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2zHopmOFollow @SportingNewsAU on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2FST99MLike Sporting News Australia on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2KRB4rB/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.

Remember The Name

11. TODD HAZELWOOD | From selling Freddo Frogs to fulfilling his V8 Supercars dream

Welcome back to the tenth episode of the Remember the Name podcast.We have a much shorter episode this week, but it's because we were lucky enough to sit down with a very special guest.Over the last few months, Phoebe Litchfield has cemented herself as not only one of the most promising cricketers in Australia, but as one of the most promising athletes from any sport in Australia, period.There is a hype around Litchfield that we rarely see with many athletes her age, and the exciting thing is that she has already been living up to it, and more.It's easy to forget that Litchfield is only 16 when you talk to her, she has the maturity of someone who has been around the traps of cricket for years.From a viral video of her in the nets that could rival the most experienced of cricketers, Litchfield has gone on to make a name for herself in the Women's Big Bash League for the Thunder, the WNCL for the NSW Breakers and even the Governor General's XI.She has made such an impact that she was one of five women chosen to play in the Bushfire Cricket Bash with legends of the sport like Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Brian Lara and more.I sat down with Phoebe at the historic North Sydney Oval only moments after the NSW Breakers last ball victory against Tasmania thanks to her teammate Stella Campbell.We spoke about how she grew up in Orange playing cricket against boys, the balance of studying and travelling to play the sport she loves and of course the amazing recognition of getting to play in the Bushfire Cricket Bash.Remember, if you enjoy this episode of the podcast, leave a rating and a comment and subscribe to make sure you're the first to catch our episode with some of the best up and coming athletes in Australia.////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Subscribe to SN's YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2BQiI7pCatch up with Sporting News Australia on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2zHopmOFollow @SportingNewsAU on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2FST99MLike Sporting News Australia on Facebook: https://bit.ly/2KRB4rB/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
