Manage episode 416458146 series 3572295
This week, we're rolling with Jayden Gerrand, a proud Whadjuk Noongar man and the innovative force behind Djinda Sports. As a dedicated advocate for First Nations athletes, Jayden shares his journey from a promising AFL career cut short by injury to creating a business that’s much more than just a sports agency.
In our conversation, Jayden opens up about the challenges of negotiating in the high-stakes world of sports management, the cultural insights that give him an edge in his work, and how he's helping to shape the future for Aboriginal athletes in Australia. Whether it's securing fair play or planning life beyond the game, Jayden's approach to negotiation and representation is a game-changer.
So, tie up your gi, it’s time for class!
