23. Zac Smith - Former Gold Coast Suns & Geelong Cats AFL Player
Growing up in Central Queensland, being an AFL footballer was probably the least likely path talented sportsman Zac Smith could have imagined he would find himself on. But after being signed as one of the Gold Coast Suns first contracted players and featuring in 124 matches across a career spanning more than a decade, the Biloela born ruckman retired as one of Queensland's greatest home grown players.
On this episode of the show, Zac reminisces on a playing career which saw him have a meteoric rise to fame after only playing his first game of Australian Rules football at 15. He shares about the mental battles he faced fighting injury, getting through tough times when the Suns first came into the competition and how his faith helped him overcome a series of challenges both on and off the field.
