In this episode of the Athlete2Business Podcast, Alex sits down with former Australian Boomers basketball player Matt Hodgson to unpack the mindset behind elite performance — both in sport and in business.
Matt shares his journey from discovering basketball late, to competing at the highest levels internationally, and ultimately transitioning into performance advisory work with organizations. The conversation dives into imposter syndrome, leadership, team dynamics, and why clarity in systems often unlocks the best performance from individuals.
Matt now works with leaders and organizations through People Performance Advisors, helping businesses build high-performing teams by applying principles learned from elite sport.
They also explore lessons from playing alongside elite athletes, what separates high performers from the rest, and how the principles of high-performance sport translate directly into building successful teams in business.
If you're an athlete navigating life after sport, or a leader looking to build stronger teams, this episode is packed with insights.
