Podcast appearances and mentions of Sydney Kings

AJ Ogilvy is a former captain of the Illawarra Hawks, a player with the Sydney Kings and a trailblazer in global sport. And last month, he made headlines around the world when he sat down alongside fellow basketball pioneer Isaac Humphries and spoke publicly about his sexuality for the very first time — becoming just the second out gay player in the history of the National Basketball League. Since then, life has been a whirlwind — but AJ joins us on The Jack Murley Sports Show for an honest, thoughtful and hugely important conversation about identity, courage and visibility. In this episode, we talk about: How AJ first fell in love with basketball His favourite memories from a career at the top level His journey with his sexuality and the decision to come out The reaction from fans, teammates and the wider sporting world Why visibility matters so much in professional sport #HeatedRivalry and how it has inspired him This is a cracking conversation with someone whose courage is already changing the game for the next generation - and we're delighted to have him on the podcast.  WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST? @aj_ogilvy WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST? @jack_murley jack@jackmurley.com #LGBTQInSport #GayAthlete #OutInSport #PrideInSport #InclusiveSport
