266: Koby Stevens (Part A)

A story of dreams, nightmares, anguish and redemption... 

Koby Stevens played 91 AFL games spanning the West Coast Eagles, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda... his career came to a premature end after a 15th concussion. 

The way he details the moments his childhood dreams were ripped from him, and the fear of an invisible injury for a professional athlete is admirable, inspiring and bloody scary, all in one. 

His drive to re-find his own purpose, uncover his brain injury, commit to his rehabilitation and recovery is as moving as anything we have heard on the show. Not to mention his passion of story telling and film making... 

This story will change and save lives. You don't always need a Premiership or a Gold Medal to show how powerful you are. 

Thanks Kobe.
