Matthew Hayden used to make the sign of the cross when he scored a century, which was his sign of his catholic faith to the rest of the world. What most people, don't know about is the the struggles he faced when living out his faith in the world. Hayden believes that being a catholic is being a leader "because you have to challenge the way your peer group will want to steer you in a certain direction", he says this because when he was growing up he had to face problems like he had to make the decision that he had to go to mass instead of going to a disco on the weekends. He shows courage because he wasn't afraid to show his faith in a world where many people are judged for their beliefs. Hayden's company The Hayden Way was set up in 2009 as a personal management company after his retirement from international cricket. It was created to assist Matt ois find a work life balance centred around family, community, social responsibility and sustainability.
