    Interview with AFL/NFL's Nathan Chapman, Founder of Prokick Australia (New Episodes at Lead From The Side)

    For more great content and new episodes, please follow the us @ Lead From The Side on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Google or your platform of choice! Welcome back to Chat and Business, where we chat about the sports business. Nathan Chapman, born in Bendigo, VIC, had a successful career playing in the AFL for the Brisbane Bears/Lions and Hawthorn. He then made the leap to the NFL with time at the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Cincinnati  Bengals but it was when he returned to Australia that things became clear. He started Prokick Australia the following year in 2007 and by 2009, the first 3 students went to USA on scholarship. Currently, having completed their 200th scholarship, Prokick now has 8 staff and punting academies in all states except Canberra and NT, to which I point out the latter are technically territories. Chapman and ProKick Australia has now saved Australians $48 MILLION of college fees for his students so far of which many not only graduate with a bachelors degree but also a Masters or multiple higher education degrees.
