Our conversation today is with former Western Bulldogs footballer Lin Jong.
Lin is a legend! He is someone that we have always been a huge fan of as an athlete but also in his advocacy for Mental Health. Lin recent retirement, whilst we're devastated we won't get to see him play footy anymore, we are so glad to see someone putting their health and wellbeing at the top of the list and it truly is a brave decision.
Lin talks about his background & how that wasn't always a welcome part of his identity, being presented as a representative of Asian - Australian culture when he just wanted to play footy. Along with an injury riddled career, his was not the smoothest sail. With that, he is held in the absolute highest regard but the club and the league in general for choosing to be open and honest about who he is. We love it, we love Lin and we wish his every success in the future.
MOW.
