Five years into his AFL career, Hawthorn's Conor Nash was a stalled half-forward. He was pulled aside for the one conversation every pro athlete dreads: "Look, this isn't going to work."

In this episode, Conor reveals the single positional change that "revitalised my career" and turned him from a fringe player into a dominant, "unorthodox" tagging midfielder. He also discusses the "insider" paradox of pro-sport: why his 'team-first' mentality "hurt me at times" and why the high-performance culture at Hawthorn empowers its players to "just be Irish".

In this episode, discover:

• The positional change that revitalised Conor's career.
• How to handle the one conversation every pro athlete dreads.
• The paradox of why a "team-first" mentality can sometimes hurt you.
• The choice between a Leinster Rugby contract and a Hawthorn rookie deal.
• How Hawthorn's culture empowers Irish athletes.
