"It's kind of cool to go back and tell them that I was sitting where they sat," Starc said.
"Some of them asked me what I was throwing or running or jumping at their age and a lot of the time they're doing better than me at that stage.
"That in itself motivates them to go, I'm doing better than an Olympian, so maybe I can be an Olympian.
"When I see some of their faces it's a really good feeling to see them so excited and keen to run or jump or throw."
Starc, the younger brother of Australian cricketer Mitchell, is coming off the back of a break after the World Championships and is now preparing his campaign for selection in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
