The Mason Cox Story is pretty well known by now, but this video recapping the last few years of Mason’s journey is spectacular. From women’s practice squad in Stillwater (holler) to cult hero in Melbourne, I enjoyed the entire thing.
Some highlights included him recounting what he was thinking as he boarded a plane from the U.S. over to Australia.
“I remember getting on the plane, and I thought, ‘What have I just done?’ he said. ‘I’ve just given up five years of hard work and thousands of dollars of education to go play a sport I’ve never heard of in a place I’ve never been with no friends or family in Melbourne.
