👢Sport shapes people.
But it shouldn’t be the only thing that DEFINES them.

This simple photo means more than it looks…

Aside from not being able to believe it’s already been 9yrs since I last played sport competitively, this is
First pair of footy boots I’ve bought in almost 10 years.
First time I’ve laced them up at all in nearly 6.
First step towards RECONNECTING with the game that’s been such a huge part of my life.

For me, it’s a reminder…
➡️ The athlete IDENTITY doesn’t disappear overnight.
➡️ Injuries, transitions, and life changes TEST that identity.
➡️ Staying connected to sport on your OWN TERM matters - whether it’s social, competitive, coaching, or simply being involved.

As clubs, schools, academies and performance programs — we’ve got a responsibility.
To create environments where:
✔ Athletes know WHO they ‘are’ - outside of their sport and WHAT they ‘do’.
✔ But also feel supported to STAY connected when life takes them off the field.
✔ Their identity is STRENGTHENED — not stripped away — through challenges and transitions.

That means actually allocating and devoting ‘truly’ PROACTIVE human-first wellbeing practices and time in the club’s and their schedules!

It’s good for them. It’s good for culture. It’s good for long-term success.

Let’s keep building sporting environments that develop whole people - not just players.

🍊WELLBEING is more than just a value — it’s a SYSTEM…

And it’s one that should evolve with the unique demands of your organisation, team, academy, or club.

🧍‍♂️💓🧍‍♂️This is the REAL WORK…

In my first month with the I got the opportunity to run a Men’s Connection Morning with the HostPlus Cup squad.

No drills. No tactics. Just real conversations, breathwork, honesty.

Men sitting in circle, sharing.
Lying on the floor together, breathing.
One by one, a chance to speak from the heart.

Some tears. Some laughs. A lot of truth.

Afterwards, a few boys messaged:
“Thanks for the opportunity.”
“Thanks for the challenge.”
“We need more of this.”
“You could feel the shift.”

One even said the best part wasn’t the session - but seeing how long the boys hung around afterwards at the café, just talking like humans. Not just teammates.

And then a day or 2 later, the Head Coach texted me:

“it probably went better than expected for those who may have been doubtful heading in… they were in.”

That’s what this work is about.
Not just connection, but earned trust.
Not just wellbeing, but belonging.

Before we can connect with others, we’ve got to understand and accept ourselves.
That’s the foundation of culture.
And the secret to high-performing teams - on the (battle)field, in the gym, in life.

Yes, “connection” is a buzzword these days in sport. But if you really want it, you’ve got to go there.
You’ve got to be willing to lead from vulnerability.
To create moments that feel different. That change something.

That’s the kind of work I love delivering - for men, athletes, and teams.
If that’s what your club or organisation needs, let’s talk. I’ve got space open.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.”

And if you’re a young man or athlete reading this… feeling the pull for something deeper… below the surface level s**t… to know yourself better, to feel more grounded, or to simply stop carrying so much alone - you don’t have to wait for a team session.

Reach out. Let’s have a real convo.

They’re not what you think.This quote from now-retired Spurs coach Gregg Popovich hit deep: “The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap — it’s illusory. It doesn’t really exist. What exists is seeing these guys and their kids… those relationships with your assistant coaches.”We don’t hear this enough when we’re still in it.When you’re grinding for that contract.That rep jumper.That spot on the team.But here’s the truth:None of this lasts.The results. The pressure. The spotlight.It’s all temporary. It’s all made up.What’s real is what’s left when it’s over: • The people beside you • The person you became • The lessons your body (and soul) tried to teach youAt PIONEER, we work with athletes beyond the scoreboard.Because your wellbeing, identity, and future can’t be defined by wins or stats alone.So if you’re in the grind right now, ask yourself:What else are you taking with you?What will your heart remember when the game ends?

🏃‍♂️ MOVEMENT. PAIN. IDENTITY.
They’re more connected than most of us realise — especially for athletes and active men.

This photo might just look like another finish line…
But for me, it was a quiet moment of freedom.

To run 5km pain-free (relatively) — no performance goals, no time pressure — just the joy of moving again.
That’s something I don’t take for granted.

From teenage shoulder and wrist reconstructions, a fractured spine, 3x knee surgeries, and more concussions than I ever counted…
To being medically retired from competitive sport at 26, and again from firefighting by 31…

Movement was always tied to pain. And identity.

But in the last few years, I’ve come to understand:
Injury, recovery, and identity loss are more than physical.
They’re emotional. Mental. Social. Even spiritual.

That’s why at PIONEER, we work with the whole human — not just the body.

Because whether it’s a young athlete, an ex-player, or a man trying to find himself again after injury…
Healing isn’t complete until all of you is heard.

This run, with my wife, reminded me why I do what I do.

Loved connecting at ‘Sip & Share’ event at .spaces.sc last night here on the Sunshine Coast.

Good people, good chats, and a great vibe exploring culture, connection, retaining good humans and building teams that thrive.

Plenty of fuel for the PIONEER fire as I step more fully back into coaching and consultancy work.

7 months no posts but still a lot of distractions…
Repost .luke
I’d been planning to jump on here tomorrow to ‘announce’ (how stupid does that even sound that we feel the need to - “people pleaser irrational concerns”) that I was deleting all social media and also streaming apps for next 6 weeks.
Butttt as of today I think I’ve realised there’s a few more things than just my phone and tv in my life I need to unplug from, withdraw from, detach from to try and find myself, my inspiration, my hope, my happiness.
To say the last 6 months has been a dark night of the soul for me would probably be a lie. The last 18months maybe even couple of years has been a real struggle particularly physically, but also mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. 🖕
There’s been such on over arching desire to help and support and better others in a way that was almost hiding how much help, support and bettering I’ve felt I needed to from others and myself. 🎭
So ‘until further notice’ whether that’s a few weeks or months, hopefully not years, I’ll be unplugging from most all things technology and even socially. If there is a need to get in contact it will need to be through phone (avoiding email as much as professionally possible as well).
Winters coming - here’s 🍻 to what feels like a needed form of hibernation. AND at the same time an awareness that hiding in my cave and hoping it will all pass over, only to reemerge when I hope it’s summer, ain’t going to work either! 🤦‍♂️
If I was trying to help someone else with the same problems as me right now I know I’d probably remind them that aside from ensuring have the right path/guidance, something inside us needs to change before any of the outside rubbish ever will truely.
Catcha on the flip ✌️

2 Weeks in complete silence…

S**t scared, AND super excited!

Will be offline and not contactable for the next 2 weeks whilst in Tasmania for a Vipassana Mediation course/retreat.

I’ve done a lot of learning and ‘work’ into/on myself over the past 6 years, but this one makes me really nervous.

Just me, myself & Irene (my thoughts)

Wish me luck
🤞 🧘‍♂️ 🤐

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein…

How much VALUE do they see in you?

How much VALUE are you offering?

How much VALUE do you believe you have?

🙋‍♂️ big realisation on my behalf recently - that although I had over-come the “not worthy” conversation, this “not good enough” feeling was always still just lingering in the background.

It was shown to me through a question, that potentially I don’t ever see my VALUE?

And the biggest reason for this was the ENVIRONMENTS I keep putting myself in,

trying to excel where my natural talents/gifts may not lie! 🤯

Heard this this morning on a audiobook…

Ain’t that the truth, and a reminder we all need from time to time.

Whether it be in that moment of your meditation that just feels so frustrating or like it’s not working and you might as well give up and get up,

or that 1 more set back or bullsh!t thing that just happened (again) that you said you cannot handle,

the “final straw that broke the camels back”

… what if it was the ‘final straw’, but it didn’t have to break the camel’s 🐪 back?

What if it simply was just the hardest battle we will have to fight (relative to that thing)

but because we THOUGHT we were already past the toughest part, and already decided the last was hard enough;

that we actually missed out on the victory, the downhill run, the good part

that was just on the other side of our true final test?

I have seen in my own life of late, and with numerous clients - the universe (or god or life - call it what you will)

so often gives us one final obstacle to over come, just when we think we have set our mind to it, made a decision or are 100% committed and in

purely to test us. Test our character and see how committed or certain we reeeeally are, or that this things is what we really want 🙏

1st CORPORATE Wellness and Mental Health presentation under the banner of ✅ off the list last Friday…

Since covid started to ease-off, it’s been a goal to step more heavily into the corporate well-being and mental health space to help business’ on both ends up the spectrum.

Avoiding BURN OUT
&
Improving OUTPUT - both at an individual and organisational level.

The key here in our view is RELATIONSHIPS help not only to build an increase in efficiency but also satisfaction and fulfilment… whilst in the workplace in particular.

It was awesome to get to run a 2hr workshop with the sales team from both offices Molenaar + McNeice

especially with it being on the more ‘intimate’ end - having the ability to structure these sort of ‘professional development’ and team bonding sessions

more so around ACTION - rather than purely Awareness!

Getting the team involved and interacting the entire time rather than essentially sitting there listening to someone preach to them the importance and benefits of this conversation

(one we are all more than aware of by now)

Looking forward to delivering a lot more of these interactive 2hr sessions - and our more immersive Half and Full Day Wellbeing and Mental Health Trainings to business’ around Wollongong and the Illawarra over the remainder of ‘22
