Isaac Smith: Two Elite AFL Clubs. Two Completely Different Cultures.

Isaac Smith had a rare opportunity in his AFL career, experiencing two of the most successful environments in Australian sport from the inside. And according to Isaac, Hawthorn and Geelong were polar opposites. From the highly structured environment he experienced during Hawthorn’s premiership era to the more fluid and informal approach at Geelong, Isaac explains how two clubs could operate so differently and still consistently get the best out of their players. He and Trent unpack the influence of Alastair Clarkson and Chris Scott, the importance of strong leaders like Luke Hodge and Joel Selwood, and why there isn’t necessarily one right way to build a winning culture. Different environments. Different approaches. Same expectation: perform when it matters.
