Create Big Change
with Big Talk

Group and individual wellbeing coaching for clubs, schools and workplaces. Real conversations and practical tools that change how people handle the hard moments, lift the people around them, and perform their best.

The problem

Talent and effort were never the problem

It's the hard moments that trip people up, and most of us were never taught how to handle them.

The player who can't let go

One bad call or one mistake, and it follows them around the park, and onto everyone around them.

The team that's drifted

Same jersey, same training, but the connection that used to lift them has quietly gone missing.

The kid who's stopped backing himself

Full of potential, but "I can't" has become the default, at training, at school, in life.

And the usual fix, a one-off motivational talk, or being told to "just open up", goes in one ear and out the other.

The solution

A different kind of conversation

Big Talk isn't a lecture or a motivational poster. It's honest, down-to-earth conversation that helps people understand what's driving them, get back to clear thinking, and respond instead of react.

Honest, not preachy

A bloke who's lived it, meeting people where they are, no clipboard, no jargon, no fluff.

A shared language

The "Between the 20's" framework gives the whole group a simple way to talk about the hard stuff.

Tools they actually use

Practical habits that show up where it counts, on game day, in the classroom, and at work.

Who it's for

Wherever people come together

It's a life message with a bit of footy for reference, so it lands just as well in a boardroom or a classroom as it does in the sheds.

Sports clubs & teams

From juniors to seniors, connection and composure that show up on game day.

Schools

Helping students handle pressure, set real goals, and back themselves.

Workplaces & teams

Better communication, fewer blow-ups, and a team that pulls together.

Young people

One-to-one coaching for 14–18s on goals, values and emotional awareness.
