So they&#8217;re potentially on my horizon.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Warner credits meeting his wife, and former pro ironwoman, Candice as completely transforming his attitude and discipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My biggest driving force is attitude,&#8217; he says. &#8216;That&#8217;s one thing you can control. You can control attitude. It&#8217;s about how you wake up in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I was waking up at 10-11 o&#8217;clock in the morning before I met Candice. Then my day would start at 2pm. That&#8217;s how my days were back then.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/15\/04\/77814863-12750867-image-a-88_1700023456043.jpg\" height=\"387\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Warner says that before he met his wife he was waking up at 10 or 11 in the morning &#8211; but Candice&#8217;s discipline and attitude rubbed off<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/15\/05\/77814889-12750867-Warner_is_looking_to_spend_more_time_with_his_family_as_his_care-a-40_1700024582554.jpg\" height=\"518\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Warner is looking to spend more time with his family as his career winds down<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Candice came into my life.

Jeez, it&#8217;s refreshing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Her discipline and attitude changed my mindset of what I had to do. That was a system I had to put into place. Work hard, train hard and the rewards will come.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It wasn&#8217;t through fluke that I got opportunities. It was through hard work and commitment to what I needed to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Just get my body into the right physique. You should have seen me. I was much bigger than what I am now. I was much more powerful, but I wasn&#8217;t in the physique, where you go like he&#8217;s a professional cricket player in the modern game. For me, I just had to work hard and it was an attitude thing.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12750867\/David-Warner-contract-cricket-Candice-ODI-Test-T20-World-Cup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Warner explains why he WON&#8217;T sign another contract with Cricket Australia &#8211;
