Eager AFL supporters, particularly Geelong followers, will always remember the 2005 semi-final when a younger Nick Davis single-handedly ripped their hearts out, slotting 4 late objectives to propel the Sydney Swans into the Grand Closing—his final coming with simply three seconds left. It was one of many biggest particular person efforts in AFL historical past, organising a Grand Closing towards the West Coast Eagles, a recreation that is still probably the most watched within the sport’s historical past. For the Swans, it ended a 72-year premiership drought.
After catching up with Nick Davis, you get the sense that if he had been three down with 4 to play in a spherical of golf, he’d discover a strategy to scrap, battle, and in some way recover from the road. That never-quit mindset is ingrained in elite athletes. Golf, like footy, is all about resilience.
Davis can also be an envoy for The Longest Day, a charity initiative elevating consciousness and funds for most cancers analysis.
