Michael Voss - 'Courage to always compete'

from In The Arena

Michael Voss has lived a life where pressure meant something great was about to happen. Three-time premiership captain at Brisbane. AFL coach at Carlton. A career spent in the arena with skin in the game. And now he's sitting in what he calls "the grey", the space between what was and what's next. We talk about his mantra, 'courage to always compete', and how that mantra survived every iteration of him. About the daily 20-minute drive that became his leadership practice. About upstream thinking versus downstream problem-solving. About the moment he raised the floor on standards and risked himself for the team. And about identity always in formation, not a fingerprint, but something you write with your own pen. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever stepped out of the arena and wondered what courage looks like now. Notebook ready. Play on!
