E1: Stuart Wenn - finance executive and AFL umpire
Manage episode 294663694 series 2938028
In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest Stuart Wenn.
- We go back in time to 1990, when our guest, Stuart Wenn, turned 21, and look at what was happening in the world, and closer to home back then.
- Stuart talks about his career on and off-field, and what it took to be at top of his 'game' - an Australian Football League field umpire - and how a chat with his school coach was a sliding door moment that set him on the path for umpiring.
- The discipline, focus, and what a week was like for a professional umpire is covered; so too are Stuart's reflections on what it was like to walk off the MCG that last time after his final of 341 senior games.
- We ask Stuart what he'd say to his 21-year-old self, and what Stuart at 21 would say to Stuart now.
