Life After AFL: Durak Tucker on Resilience & Identity
Description
This week on the BLXCK INK Podcast, I sit down with Durak Tucker — former AFL player whose journey through footy is as raw as it gets. From the highs of being drafted to the Sydney Swans at just 18, to the heartbreak of repeated injuries and the crushing reality of being delisted, Durak opens up about the mental battles, the identity crisis that followed, and how he found his way back to loving the game again.
This one hits hard — it’s about chasing dreams, losing them, and finding out who you really are when the jersey comes off.
