Trent Cotchin: The Unexpected Struggles After Football

Season 14, Ep. 170

[Watch the episode here] In this episode, we dive into life post being a high profile, professional athlete, our good friend and former footballer Trent Cotchin, one of the most iconic players in modern Australian football.


Trent is a three-time premiership captain of the Richmond Football Club, but what happens when that’s all over and you step away from a career where you are highly skilled and start again?


Trent opens up about the unexpected struggles of life post-football - changing friendships, your identity and finding a routine and leaning into one of his new ventures that we are loving being a part of his new video and podcast series Shaped - sitting down with former athletes and discussing the things that have shaped their lives.
