Show Notes
Nathan Bassett played footy with a passion and desperation that was clearly evident to everyone who saw him terrorise AFL forwards.
A fan favourite of the Crows faithful, Bass turned his hand to coaching after playing 210 games, and quickly transformed Norwood into a SANFL powerhouse with back to back flags in 2012 and 2013.
After more than a decade as an assistant coach with Essendon, Port Adelaide and Melbourne, Bass has jumped back into leading his own outfit at West Adelaide.
Bass is really honest and vulnerable in this chat, opening up on everything from balancing diabetes with elite sport, being rocked by injuries, spotting future footy stars and having the tough conversations.
