If you can’t create impact with integrity and values-driven leadership, it’s time to step aside.We also dive into the AFL media debate and the high-pressure environment for players and coaches, exploring how media intensity can affect performance and wellbeing.Brendan outlines how we can reduce the long-term risks of concussion, the AFLPA’s work to support players dealing with head knocks, and why their latest survey revealed that 55% of players rank mental wellbeing as their number one priority.And, we tackle a big question in the game — when is it time for an AFL illicit drugs code reform?All this and much more in episode 203 of Sporting Max!www.instagram.com/sportingmax.podcast/

Harry Froling’s story is one of the most powerful and emotional comebacks in Australian sport. From being the victim of a life-threatening coward punch attack, to rebuilding his life and returning to professional basketball, Harry takes us through the moment everything changed — the night of the attack, waking up in hospital, and the complete lack of support from the club he was contracted with at the time. Harry talks candidly about learning to find his identity away from basketball, realising who truly cares for you when everything falls apart, and how narrowing his circle of friends gave him clarity and peace. He shares the crucial role Simon Mitchell played in his recovery, and how he eventually fought his way back to the NBL, suiting up for the Illawarra Hawks in what can only be described as a monster return.
