  • Ep 188. Harry Sheezel - The Psychological Secrets Behind Elite Performance

    Harry Sheezel is one of the AFL’s most exciting young players and the vice-captain of North Melbourne. Since being drafted at pick three in 2022, he’s won the Rising Star Award and three club best and fairests. But behind the accolades, what drives Harry to keep improving, and how has he developed such a grounded mindset so early in his career?

    Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Harry to explore the habits behind his consistency and how he builds confidence beyond his performance. Expect to learn why Harry chose the Borat theme as his goal song, the most effective psychological strategies he uses to optimise his game-day performance, how he uses visualisation to deliver in game-breaking moments, how he keeps his performance from defining his self-worth, his non-negotiables following a loss, how he’s responded to criticism, his belief on loyalty in the AFL player market, if AFL mid-season trading will occur, his reaction to Clarko’s sacking, and much more!

  • Ep 187. Tom McDonald - Why He Has Never Watched His Premiership Win

    Tom McDonald is a former AFL footballer and premiership player who played 256 games across 16 seasons with the Melbourne Football Club. From the club’s toughest years to helping end its 57-year premiership drought in 2021, he experienced both extremes of elite sport.

Expect to learn what it was really like playing for Melbourne during the club’s darkest years, the brutal game review tactic Paul Roos used after a loss, why Tom has never watched back the Demons’ drought-breaking grand final win, why he believes Melbourne failed to build a premiership dynasty, what makes Max Gawn the greatest Demon of all time, how becoming a father changed his football, why the 2021 Grand Final wasn’t his favourite win, and much more!
