@inheritedthepod: ‘I lived the AFL dream, but I hated every single day of it’. Before he was @dandoesfooty, a Big Brother finalist and one of football’s biggest media personalities, Daniel Gorringe was Pick 10 in the AFL Draft. He went on to play for the @Gold Coast SUNS and @Carlton Blues, but the reality of professional football was far different from what he’d imagined. Within days of arriving at AFL level, he found himself overwhelmed by the relentless pressure, criticism and expectations that came with living out his dream. In this episode of Inherited, Dan reflects on the reality of elite sport, and why achieving the thing you’ve always wanted doesn’t always feel the way you expect it will.

Being constantly cut down at a job you’re objectively good at and have earned hurts, encouragement needs to be a part of that even if it’s only a small part compared to trying to improve. Some people just need something to hold onto to keep going even if it’s one piece of positivity a week.
