Paddy Upton is a well-renowned fitness and mental conditioning coach, having had successful stints with the Proteas, the India Cricket team, IPL and helping business teams reach even greater heights.

Upton and his good friend and former Protea, Gary Kirsten, famously steered the India Cricket team to World Cup glory in 2011, and dominance in all three formats of the game.

He then followed Kirsten to the helm of the South African national side, helping the Proteas reach No. 1 in the Test rankings.

In this part of our studio chat, we asked Paddy about his experience with the Proteas around ICC tournaments, after SA bombed out of yet another ICC tournament in their Champions Trophy must-win encounter with India on Sunday.
