Keegan Hipgrave: Encouraging Athletes To Be Vulnerable Will Inspire Change.
Episode description
Keegan Hipgrave was medically retired from the NRL at just 24 years of age, a whole decade before he had planned to call time on the career he had set his sights on as a young man playing Australian school boys alongside some of the games form players.
His exit from the game has afforded him to the time to pursue a path he deems to be full of passion & purpose. His podcast Keegan & Company was built to normalise the conversation around mental health with elite athletes, ultimately setting an example for all Australian's who look to our sports stars as heroes & role models.
This incredibly entertaining & uplifting yarn had it all. We discuss:
- The biggest lesson he learnt from being medically retired.
- Keegs answers 'knowing what you do now, would you change the past if you could'?
- Losing one of his best mates to suicide & how it ignited a purpose to help others.
- Learning from some of the countries best athletes & sharing inspiring stories on his podcast.
- All of this amongst some incredible laughs, inspiring moments & thought provoking conversation.
