In this episode of TKS Flight Deck, the podcasters are joined by Jack Ross, midfielder for the Richmond Football Club. From his early years chasing a dream to running onto the MCG in front of thousands, Jack shares the highs, challenges and lessons that have shaped his journey in elite football. Together, they explore leadership, staying grounded through pressure and uncertainty, and how Jack balances his career and personal time to perform at his best. 

This episode also aligns with the launch of the Falcon Squad in 2025, a new athletic development program designed to support motivated student-athletes from Years 9 to 12. The Falcon Squad takes a holistic approach that reaches beyond physical training. Students develop skills in mindset, resilience, nutrition, preparation and recovery, mindfulness and personal purpose, all while maintaining their academic balance. Supported by TKS staff and sporting partners, the 2025 pilot aims to nurture talent, strengthen squad culture and reinforce TKS as a school that values sporting excellence. 

The podcasters also introduce their new TKS Top 10 rapid-fire segment, where Jack answers quick questions about his inspirations, routines and favourite moments on and off the field. 

Fasten your seatbelts and take off with Jack Ross, a journey through discipline, resilience and the mindset that shows why every minute matters in sport and in life.
