CMC Welcomes Tom Boyd

Posted 15 Jul 2026

Tom Boyd‘s story is one of the most compelling we’ve come across — and we are very proud to represent him.

Selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2013 AFL National Draft and a 2016 AFL Premiership winner with the Western Bulldogs, Tom appeared to have it all. But behind the highlights, he was navigating something far more challenging — severe mental health struggles that ultimately led him to retire from the game he loved at just 23 years old.

Since leaving the game, Tom has become a sought-after speaker, sharing insights on performance, mental health, leadership and personal development. Drawing on his experiences in elite sport and life beyond football, he encourages audiences to think differently about success, wellbeing and building a strong sense of identity.
