#95 - James Hird - The Life of “Hirdy”

James Hird is an AFL Hall of Famer and legend. His accolades speak for themself. 2 x AFL Premierships, Norm Smith Medalist, Brownlow Medalist, Essendon Team of The Century, Former Essendon Captain and Coach just to name a few.

We're still pinching ourselves that we got to sit across from James and had the chance to chat all things footy and life with him.

We got a great insight into James Hird the person away from football including his passions, hobbies and day to day non negotiables.

He shared what he believes it takes to have courage. Not from only a football sense but in life too. We learned about leadership, high pressure moments and media scrutiny and what he learned over the years to overcome some of the most challenging moments he's had to face. Including being open about his public mental health battle a few years ago.

James took us inside the locker room with some great footy club stories. Including some of the most torturous training sessions, a classic Kevin Sheedy story that will have you in stitches and even the battle for footy's sexiest player against the great Shane Crawford.

He shared his perspective about how football clubs have evolved from his time spent in them. The shift from semi professional to a professional environment and what that meant culturally and socially.

There are so many other teasers we could list off but hear it from the man himself. If you're a sport lover you're going to enjoy this one for obvious reasons. But if you're not, there's so much to take from James' life lessons and stories.

He is an incredibly giving, humble and kind individual and we're so grateful for James taking the time to sit down with us.

So sit back and enjoy the one and only, James Hird.
