Ep 31 - The Josh Gitsham Story: More Than The Game

In this episode of Beyond The Noise, we sit down with Josh Gitsham. A lot of people around Bendigo know Josh through footy. Eaglehawk, North Bendigo, two league best and fairests, big marks, ruck work, and a reputation as one of the best country footballers going around in his time. But this conversation is about more than the game. It’s about the person behind the footballer. In this episode, we talk about: – Growing up in Bendigo and moving to Perth as a teenager – Sport, competitiveness, and the fear of failure – The Bali bombings and the reason he returned to footy – Eaglehawk, North Bendigo, hangers, ruck work, and leaving it all out there – Mental health, hard seasons, and finding his feet again – Music, drumming, creativity, and life after footy – Faith, family, fatherhood, and what matters most now This episode is about identity, resilience, and the parts of a person you don’t always see from the outside. It’s about what sport can give you, what it can take out of you, and what’s left when the playing days are done. If this one made you reflect, think about your own story, or appreciate someone beyond what they’re known for, share it with them. 🎙️ Follow us on Instagram: Beyond The Noise — @thebeyondthenoisepodcast This episode is proudly supported by Donny Walker from DMW Tiling.
