Retiring at the age of 29 may seem uncommon in most professions, right? Well, it's a reality many AFL players face and in this episode, Jack Watts shares what it was like to exit the footy world as he entered his 30’s. Jack was the number one draft pick in 2008 and played for Melbourne (alongside Bridget’s partner Oscar) and Port Adelaide. This is a super insightful, candid look into how the pressures of professional sport have influenced Wattsy’s relationship with footy and the lessons he’s taking into this next chapter of life.

You can hear more of Jack on The Overly Excited Podcast. Plus, check out his swimwear label, Skwosh Club.
