Empowering Leaders

Bruce McAvaney: The voice behind the most unforgettable moments in Australian sport


Listen Later

In the world of sports broadcasting, they don’t come much more accomplished - or beloved - than the one and only Bruce McAvaney.

Throughout his career, Bruce has covered an incredible 12 summer Olympic games, 20 AFL Grand Finals, the world swimming and world athletic championships, Rugby World Cup, Melbourne Cup and a slew of others.

In this episode, you’ll hear about the early influences that ignited Bruce’s passion for sport, the mentors who have supported him throughout his career, and why he remains dedicated to doing the same for up-and-coming broadcasters.

Bruce’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the sporting world is undoubtedly a result of the extensive preparation he prides himself on, and he tells us why ‘being prepared’ is key advice he gives to young people wanting to follow their dreams.

You'll also hear Bruce talk about the more challenging aspects of being a high-profile media personality, why he’s so excited about 17-year-old Australian sprinter, Gout Gout, how self-doubt still manages to creep in after all these years, and the iconic Olympic moment that caught him off guard.
