MITCHELL JOHNSON

"When I was growing up, I had people helping me. BOWLFIT is my way to give back to the game."

Mitchell Johnson is one of Australia’s and the World’s all-time greatest bowlers. Before his recent retirement, Johnson finished his Test career with 313  wickets in 73 Test Matches, making him the 4th highest wicket taker in Australian cricket history – behind only Warne, Lillee and McGrath. 

When faced with a lengthy rehabilitation following toe surgery in 2011, Johnson questioned whether he had the ability or desire to return to international cricket.

But barely three years later he was the most feared fast bowler in the world, having destroyed England and South Africa on his way to claiming the 2014 Allan Border Medal and for the 2nd time being named ICC International Cricketer of the Year.

In his 10 year International career, Johnson never sustained a single soft tissue injury, which he puts down to being exceptionally well conditioned through hard and consistent training. He was regarded as one of Australia’s fittest ever cricket players, and respected the world over as a supreme all-round cricket athlete. This came after a horror run as a youngster coming through have 4 different stress fractures of his lower back and having to fight back from everyone of them before making it as a professional cricketer.

Having endured all the high’s and low’s of the game, Johnson’s demonstrated ability to bounce back from adversity - both mental and physical - has proven him to be the perfect illustration of what it takes to succeed as a fast bowler at the highest level.

Passionate about fitness and the vital role it plays in fast bowling, Johnson has co-founded BOWLFIT to teach players of all ages the best way forward, and help bridge the knowledge gap between beginner and elite levels.
