EP 6. When the game ends: Liam Bauer on identity, uncertainty & life beyond sports

What happens when the game you’ve built your identity around no longer feels like enough?

Liam Bauer knows that feeling all too well. As a high-level touch footy athlete, he opens up about the brutal reality of chasing selection, the pressure to perform, and the crushing uncertainty of life beyond the sport.

This isn’t just a story about footy, it’s about losing direction, questioning your worth, and learning to rebuild from the ground up.

From identity struggles to acceptance, Liam shares the raw truths of navigating life when your “what’s next?” feels unclear.

Now the founder of Journey Beyond the Game, Liam is helping athletes redefine success, find purpose off the field, and create a life that means more than just a jersey.

If you’ve ever felt lost when the game changed, this one’s for you.
