AV: You are also an ambassador for Griffith University. What is that involvement like for you? Studying sport at the highest level is only just catching on in some parts of the world.

GC: We've launched the Griffith University International Institute of Sport which basically marries education with sport. It's not new in the world, the Americans have been doing it for so many years. In Australia we have a number of sports institutes, but none of them are attached to institutes of higher learning. We thought it was time Australia exported some of its expertise in both education and sport. As of now, we are concentrating on cricket, tennis and golf, but in time other sports will be introduced as well.
