Get Invested: How AFL legend Mark Bickley went from good to great in sport and life

Mark ‘Bicks’ Bickley is one of South Australia’s best-known humble heroes – a country boy from the regional town of Port Pirie who went on to become a dual premiership AFL captain with the Adelaide Crows, with 272 games to his name over a 13 year career.

His rare contribution to the game was recognised with his admission into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

But his success didn’t end here, in fact this was only the beginning. Since then he has enjoyed a long career in the media, both on TV and now on radio. He has also owned and run a retail business, was the Chairman of prominent organisation SA Great, the premium collective to promote the merits of the best kept secrets in South Australia. He has also enjoyed a stint in the coaching chair of his beloved Adelaide Crows.

I’ve been a quiet admirer of Bicks for many years, not only for his obvious achievements, but more for the way he goes about everything he does.

In this fascinating interview, you will find answers on how to go from good to great, along with the highs and lows associated with elite performance in sport, business and life in general, and much more.
