Brent 'Boomer' Harvey is a former AFL player for the North Melbourne Football Club, however, he isn't any ordinary player. He is in fact the AFL games record holder with an incredible 432 games across 21 seasons at the elite level. Showing remarkable durability, resilience, dedication and adaptability to improve and evolve over such a long time, the man they call Boomer is undoubtedly one of the AFL's greatest ever.

Harvey was a record breaker from his early years. From kicking 21 goals in one game as a junior footballer, to breaking three records at the national AFL testing combine for under 18 draft hopefuls and then going on to be the games record holder amongst many other accolades along the way, Harvey seemingly was destined to be a star. But, at just 175cm and 64kg when he was drafted, there were many doubters as to whether he would make it but one person was so confident that he would - himself.

Throughout our conversation, you begin to learn about and dive into the mindset of what made Boomer a champion and allowed him to have such sustained success at the top level for such a long period of time. He provides a fantastic insight into his goal setting, his self belief on the sporting field, remaining grounded and humble growing up in the suburb of Preston in Melbourne, the 'shinboner' culture of the North Melbourne Football Club, the three things he believes any person in any walk of life must possess if they are to be successful and his overriding attitude of proving them wrong.
