Shaped with Archie Thompson

  • Summary

  • What happens after the final whistle with some of our favourite athletes? In this powerful episode of Shaped, we sit down with Archie Thompson, one of Australia’s most iconic football (soccer) stars, as he opens up about his life beyond the game. From representing the Socceroos on the world stage to facing deep personal struggles, Archie shares the life lessons that shaped him, including his battle with alcohol, generational trauma, and rebuilding relationships with his children.

    This raw and inspiring conversation dives into the mental health challenges ex-professional athletes face, the importance of self-development, and the journey to healing and personal growth. Archie speaks candidly about his time at the top of elite sport, how he confronted his past, and the steps he’s taken to become a better father and person.
