In Episode 58 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Pat Howard—former Wallaby, coach, high-performance executive, and former CEO of an ASX-listed company—to talk about navigating elite sport, building better systems, and why long-term thinking wins.

Pat reflects on debuting for the Wallabies at 19, the lessons he took from legends like Tim Horan, and how walking away from playing at 29 opened doors into coaching, strategy, and leadership. He unpacks his time in rugby and cricket, the shift to CEO life in tech, and the experience of leading a company through to acquisition.

Now head of strategy at the Australian Sports Commission, Pat shares his views on early specialisation, the future of athlete wellbeing, and how sport can prepare people for far more than just podiums.

🏉 From Test caps to boardrooms, this one’s about thinking big, staying curious, and knowing when to pivot.
