Australian Rules Football
Played at Coburg/ Richmond Tigers in the VFL for two years before returning to my home team the Greensbrough Football Club. Here I utilised the work ethic and leadership skills I learnt at a higher level to become captain of the senior team for 5 years. In this time the club developed from a bottom team to a premiership winning team. This was due to a cultural shift that demanded a more consistent professional approach from our senior players.
