James was drafted to St Kilda before moving back home to play with Adelaide in the AFL, playing 61 games before his career was cut short by injuries.


Not wanting a ‘real job’, James backpacked around the world before deciding to pursue leadership development.

In this conversation, James talks about:

His AFL beginnings

Battling injuries

Leadership is elite sport and what it means to be a leader

The story of PickStar

Networking in sport

How to move out of the clinical world and create long term work opportunities

Much more!
