#168: Brad Crouch (AFL) From Footy to the Real World

In this episode of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Brad Crouch to explore the transition from elite AFL footballer to life beyond the game. Now working in commercial real estate with Colliers, Brad reflects on identity, starting again and the challenge of earning your place in a completely new environment after years in professional sport. Brad opens up about the realities of AFL life, the pressure of performance, constant feedback and the need to stay on edge to maintain a career. He shares how those experiences have shaped his approach to business, from handling criticism to staying consistent and focusing on preparation. For Brad, the parallels are clear: there is no shortcut, just hard work, repetition and making your own luck over time. The conversation also dives into mindset. From learning to move on quickly from mistakes to using visualisation as a tool for performance, Brad explains how he built resilience across a career filled with both highs and setbacks. He speaks honestly about injuries, form slumps and the importance of staying level through it all, lessons that now translate directly into his working life. There is a strong focus on growth and perspective. Brad reflects on how his goals evolved over time, from wanting to simply belong in a team to thinking bigger and setting more ambitious targets. He also highlights the importance of enjoying the journey, building relationships and being a good teammate, values that extend far beyond football. 🔗 Show notesThis episode was Powered by Swyftx — Where can crypto take you?👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://swyftx.com/about/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join over 1.5m users in Australia and NZThe Do You Budget Segment is powered by PocketSmith.PocketSmith is personal finance software made for the household CFO — the one keeping the family budget on track, making sure the bills are paid, and the big goals are in sight. PocketSmith’s got a special offer for Scoreboard listeners: get 50% off your first two months of PocketSmith’s Foundation plan. 👉  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pocketsmith.com/scoreboard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠More info:📌 More episodes: ⁠⁠www.scoreboardpodcast.com⁠⁠🎥 YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Partnerships: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]
