In this episode of the Prime Effect Podcast, we are joined by retired AFL star Lachie Henderson. Lachie retired from playing professional football in 2021. Throughout his career, he played 206 games for the Brisbane Lions, Carlton United, and Geelong Cats. It certainly wasn't a smooth ride for Lachie, as an athlete, he had to overcome more than a dozen rounds of surgery to fix injuries just to keep his career alive. He played in some great teams, with wonderful cultures, and learnt lessons that he’s forever thankful for. He also learnt some valuable lessons about himself late in his career that have set him up to transition out of the game more successfully.
