Your road to success wasn’t always the easiest but no matter what obstacle was placed in front of you, you always found a way through it."

Reflecting on the transformation of David Warner since their initial encounter, Candice Warner candidly expressed:

"When I first met you, you were a cricket player but by the end of your career you were an elite athlete and still are. I was your training partner so often which meant I got a front row seat into David Warner the athlete and just how you were wired differently to others. Your work ethic was and still is second to none."
