AWW22 Beyond Boyhood - Brandon Jack and Paul Kennedy

Chaired by Tory Shepherd.


ABC journalist Paul Kennedy and former Sydney Swans player
Brandon Jack were forced to challenge and transcend their own
expectations, and that of those around them, before they could fi
nd and embrace their life’s true calling. In Funkytown, Paul
focuses on a critical year of his adolescence that became a
turning point. 28 is the number of games Brandon played for the
Swans and details the pressure and challenge of failing to
succeed. Both are evocative accounts of sport, masculinity and
breaking free.
