The Bottom Line How Tom Boyd redefined success after the AFL
Tom Boyd is a former AFL premiership player and Head of Performance at Everperform. His career took him from a suburban upbringing in Melbourne to the very top of professional football at a remarkably young age.
In this episode, Tom reflects on his AFL career and the mental health and injury challenges that caused him to retire early. You’ll hear Tom talks through his time at the GWS Giants and the highly scrutinised move to the Western Bulldogs. The conversation also explores Tom’s mental health journey, including the challenges that followed premiership success, his decision to retire at just 23, and how that choice reshaped his sense of purpose.
