It depends where you live, but football where I grew up in Melbourne was the AFL, the Australian football League and the team I followed from the age of 13 was the Carlton Football Club. My best friend insisted I change teams to Carlton as she was a fanatical fan & volunteered to teach me everything she knew about the players, their numbers & the club! How could I say no. Now, today I’m super excited as we have one of the champions of the club from the 90’s & early 2000’s on the show, Anthony Koutoufides.

Kouta as he is affectionately known by all of his friends and fans played 278 games for the Carlton Football Club in Australia between 1992 and 2007. He is a premiereship winner, gained AFL‘s Australian selection twice, won the clubs best of fairest players awards & captained the team between 2004 and 2007.

He is certainly of those memorable champion players and what makes Kouta really stand out, and why invited him on the show today is that he truly has a mindset that is just as strong as his physical state and that is really the key difference that takes you to the next level as an elite sports person as a professional football player & athlete.

He’s taking the skills that he’s learned during the game into his life today and continues to lead and inspire others with all of the lessons that he’s had during his career.

In this conversation we talk about:
the mental aspect of being an elite athlete
some of the challenges he had early on in his career
what it meant for someone to believe in him and his talents
the sacrifices he made to get to reach the biggest goals he had sent for himself
and he gives other aspiring athletes some really incredible advice to follow in his footsteps and achieve greatness and you don’t need to be an athlete to take on this advice because it really can apply to all of us.

I love this conversation with Kouta (#43 Jersey) and the stories that he shared during this chat.
