Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope you've all had a nice start to your week and had a great weekend.

It's been a bloody busy past few days for me filled with footy, footy and more footy. Very lucky for what I get to do and it has brought upon so many wonderful opportunities.

One of those opportunities was getting to connect with someone from the AFL world in the development space and I heard something from this person that just resonated me with and is something that can apply to all of us.

"Don't get bored of the basics"

We are all capable of achieving great things but we all want it to happen so fast and generally, what seperates the best from the rest, is that fact that the greats don't get bored of the basics.

They do the little things time and time again and fall in love with the process, no matter how long it takes.

So I just wanted to share that chunk of gold with you all and hope it can help you in your pursuit of greatness in whatever walk of life you're from.

Thank you always for tuning in, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a great week and please be sure to check in on your loved ones and mates and I'll catch you again next week for another episode of Extra Sauce.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday, I hope you all had a nice weekend and are taking it easy at work today or are just relaxing if you have the day off.

Another shoutout this week to someone who has excelled on the sporting field this past weekend.

My brother Johann, or "Yoey", as he is more commonly known, has had a successful time on the footy field at the SA Country Footy Champs down in Victor Harbour representing the Eyre Peninsula.

He has had a bloody good footy career and at the ripe old age of 33, he was the leading goal kicker for the carnival and has been named in the team of the carnival as well. Hopefully you have earnt another selection to the SA Country State Team after your efforts.

Really proud of you brus, keep on doing what you're doing and making those around you better and fingers crossed we get to see you on Adelaide Oval again in a couple weeks!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope your day is going well so far and I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Slight delay to this weeks Extra Sauce but I was caught up on the phone having a chat to my best mate, Billy Lawrence, this morning. Grateful for my best mate checking in on me!

In this week's episode, I wanted to highlight some amazing people who have reach the top of the footy mountain here in SA over the weekend.

Jas Smith, Shae Archbold, Layla Vizgaudis and Tiff King have all played in 2024 SANFLW Premiership for South Adelaide on Saturday and I couldn't be prouder of them.

Excellent reward for all your hard work, absolutely stoked for you and I'm sure there is plenty more success for all of you to come.

And lastly, thank you all for tuning in each week and supporting me, keep an eye on the socials as I'll be making some announcements soon.

But until then, have a good week, check in on your mates and loved ones and take it easy.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Howdy everyone, I hope you're all having a nice Monday and I hope you all had a great weekend.

It's been a couple weeks since I picked up the mic, I've been a bit under the weather, missed some work and footy so apologies for my absence.

A nice little recap episode today of what I have been up to the past couple of weeks. An AFL debut, nearly making my own footy comeback and also attended a significant event in Port Augusta to watch a great mate share his powerful story.

So tune in to hear what I have been up to and I'll be be back next week with another episode of Extra Sauce.

Until then, check in on your mates and loved ones and take it easy.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Mental health has been a common topic on this podcast. Guests have opened up about their struggles and I've shared some stories and strategies regarding my mental health on many of these weekly episodes.

This week's episode is no different as it's Men's Mental Health Week.

Whilst these weeks are excellent in shining a light on the facts and figures, they mean next to fuck all if we don't take action and actually check in on our mates and loved ones.

So, this week, I challenge you to be the change. Go and catch up with a mate. Have a coffee, kick the footy and actually have a meaningful yarn with someone you care about.

You never know, you may just save a life.

As always, if conversation's surrounding mental health and suicide bring up difficult feelings for you, please make use of the relevant support hotlines available in Australia.

Take it easy everyone!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

G'day everyone, I hope you have been well! Sorry for my recent absence but life has been busy lately.

Just a quick episode to let you all know I am pausing the guest episodes until the end of the footy season. It's a hectic time at the moment and I want to channel my energy into coaching and relieve some of the mental load that the guest episodes have had on me recently.

Extra Sauce will be the constant in the meantime and I will also aim to have chats with the odd person on the weekly episodes to mix things up.

So, I hope you are keen to stick by me and tune in each week and await the return of guest episodes later in 2024!.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Good morning everyone, apologies for my absence of late on your Monday mornings but I'm back with another episode of Extra Sauce.

A pretty real chat today on my drive to work where I do a lot of my thinking.

We are in a mental health crisis in this country.

Recent statistics show that 8 Australians die by suicide every day, 75% of those are men.

So by the end of today, by the time you listened to this episode, someone has potentially taken their life.

We likely all know of someone who has taken their life and the massive impact this has on their loved ones.

The politician's won't help us. The change we want starts with us. We must take this seriously and start having real, meaningful conversations with each other about how we are feeling.

If we don't do this, then the stats stay the same.

We have to help our mates, we have to do it for those who have left us and for the future generations as well. Otherwise, more of us will die.

If you need support, reach out to a mate and on the flipside, if you know if someone who is likely struggling, hit them up for a chat.

And don't forget to reach out to the relevant support hotlines that we have in Australia as they can provide support at all hours. Also, if this episode brings up some bad thoughts, please reach out to your support network to talk about it.

Please, check-in on someone today and take it easy.

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Damn it's good to be back on the tools and sitting down chatting with awesome people again.

And what a guest to kick us off after the break!

A young lad who is just having a red hot crack in life, Jack Banwell is someone to look up to. An honest and humble upbringing which has seen him look to give more than what he takes from life.

That is well and truly on display as Jack prepares for a huge challenge which is just week's away where he is aiming to raise money for poverty stricken communities overseas in Bali when he takes part in the Bali Hope Ultra.

If you would love to get behind Jack and make a donation to help him reach his target, please check out the link below! Any support we can provide will be a massive help to Jack and the Balinese community.

I really loved sitting down and having a yarn with Jack, and I certainly hope yo enjoy tuning in and hearing more about another everyday hero!

Cheers,

Sauce xx

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend and are getting through the day nicely!

In this week's episode I wanted to re-visit past conversations where I have talked about daily journaling and how that has an impact in my life.

I have written 3 or 4 times so far this year and last week I finally added journaling back into my daily routine and can already for the positive change it has had on my mental health.

I highly recommend giving it a go and if you have any questions on how to get started, my DM's are always open to anyone and everyone.

Cheers,

Sauce xx
