Episode 131 - Elliott Hegan // Finding Your Identity After Competing In Sport
About this episode
Elliott Hegan discusses his journey from rugby league to finding identity and purpose beyond sports, focusing on mental health and vulnerability.
This week I’m joined by Elliott Hegan — ex–rugby league player and the voice behind the Mind Your Head podcast. After stepping away from the game, Elliott’s taken a deep dive into the world of mindset, identity, and the mental health battles that often go unseen in high-performance sport and everyday life. In this episode, we unpack his journey from the footy field to finding purpose beyond it, the power of vulnerability, and why he’s on a mission to help others better understand what’s going on upstairs. Real, raw, and honest — this one’s for anyone who's ever struggled with who they are without the title.
