Former pro surfer Luke Stedman joins Scoreboard to share his journey from growing up in a surfboard factory to competing on the World Championship Tour, and later navigating the realities of business and coaching.

Luke opens up about how journaling, goal setting and daily wins helped him move from self-doubt to qualifying at the elite level, what he learned through sponsorships and setbacks including a tough stint running a clothing label, and how his coaching business Blackball now uses surfing as a vehicle for life lessons.

He also reflects on his Scoreboard Moment at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, his favourite sporting highlights, and why doing what your competitors don’t is the ultimate edge.

The Swyftx Bucket List makes an appearance as Luke reveals the sporting event still at the top of his wishlist, while the PocketSmith “Do You Budget” segment dives into the financial discipline that helped him beyond the waves.

Scoreboard explores the mindset, money and life of athletes and high performers.
