Paul Nixon
Former England wicket keeper Paul Nixon of Leicestershire County Cricket Club has scored nearly 23,000 runs in a career which has seen him win the Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia with England.
The 39-year-old puts playing for England in Australia (winning series), receiving his Cap from Michael Vaughan and playing in front of 89,000 at Melbourne as among life's top moments – as well as playing in the last World Cup in the West Indies.
His six-day-a-week training schedule includes eye exercise and visualisation exercise as well as the gym – and he puts success down to working hard, loving his work and realising you sometimes have to get things wrong to understand how to get it right!
"I am delighted to be joining Premier Sport as an Ambassador. The work they do to motivate our children to get involved in sport is second to none. I've been particularly impressed with the level of coaching, and am pleased to be involved in inspiring sport in the next generation.
Premier Sport is a quality company who I know want to make a difference, and I also want to make a difference with the passion and knowledge I have gained over the years."
