Manage episode 480691169 series 3600868
In Episode 55 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with former Rugby League star Darius Boyd for a powerful, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the footy field.
Darius reflects on growing up as a die-hard Broncos fan, sharing a locker room with his childhood hero Wendell Sailor, and the pressure of going from schoolboy to premiership player in just 12 months.
He talks about his famous connection with Wayne Bennett, why consistency trumped talent, and how perfectionism nearly derailed his mental health.
In a brutally honest moment, Darius shares his 2014 decision to check into a mental health facility—his Scoreboard Moment—and how that three-week break transformed his career and life.
Now a father of four, he opens up about parenting in the digital age, coaching pathways, and why kindness and effort still matter more than followers and fame.
💬 Honest, grounded, and full of perspective—this one’s for anyone chasing goals while learning how to slow down.
