Episode Details

“I didn’t enjoy football. The stress, the anxiety, I struggled.”

Newly appointed Carlton coach Josh Fraser joins Nick and Lauren in front of a live Eclat audience for this special episode of The Sounds of Eclat.

Josh opens up about the pressure of being an AFL number one draft pick, watching his Collingwood teammates win a premiership but missing out on selection himself, and the experiences that ultimately shaped the coach he is today.

He takes us inside his commitment to the Northern Bullants and their fight for survival, before unpacking an extraordinary 14 weeks at Carlton that saw him step into the interim coaching role, turn the team’s season around and effectively undertake a very public job interview for one of football’s biggest roles, all while mourning the death of his father, Bill.

A conversation about pressure, perspective, leadership and why, for Josh, developing people has always mattered as much as developing footballers.
