EP 10: Ali Day

On this episode, we welcome arguably the greatest Australian athlete since the turn of the century, Ali Day.

Ali has been a professional surf ironman for over a decade, claiming 6 (not a typo) x Coolangatta Gold wins and 3 x Nutri Grain Ironman Series wins along the way. 

Despite his successes, the journey has not been free from adversity, having dealt with injury and illness throughout his career. 

In July 2019, Ali attended a promotional event for the Nutri Grain Series where he fell from an obstacle, landing on the sand and breaking both of his wrists.

In the year following this accident, Ali had to establish a new way of thinking and doing, during a rehabilitation process that proved to be the most challenging season of his life.

He shares the ultimate comeback story - one of resilience, vulnerability, and overwhelming grit.

Beyond professional life, Ali spends time with wife Kel and young son Danny, is co-owner of ACTV Strength Co, is a keen Sydney Swans/Sydney Roosters fan, and is a Flannery's aficionado.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we all did.
