OLLIE OLDS BIO

As Walkers Only grew, we started incorporating mindfulness practices, which enhanced the sense of community and transformed us into a big, supportive family. It was an incredibly rewarding experience. Furthermore, I had the privilege of working with top athletes in their respective fields and developing "Master Your Mind" programs for private clients, corporate organizations, as well as my 60 and 90-day clients.

This journey has taught me the immense power of self-discipline, positive mindset, and the importance of community support. Walkers Only has become more than just running up Kangaroo Point stairs, it is a platform for personal growth, well-being, and creating lasting connections. since then I had the pleasure to lace the boots up again and play in the Rugby League World cup in 2023 and score a try!

For the past 18 years, I have dedicated my life to playing Rugby League, with 10 of those years spent in Australia. Rugby became my mission, and life seemed amazing. However, fate had a different plan for me. After enduring several knee reconstructions, I found myself spiraling into a dark place filled with anxiety, depression, and the need to numb my emotions through excessive partying.

Retirement in 2018 left me utterly lost, lacking direction and purpose. Before things reached an extremely critical point, I realized the importance of surrounding myself with good people and adopting positive habits and structure to my daily life. It was time for me to let go of the victim card I had been playing for far too long.

Taking action and mapping out my goals became my newfound focus. Mondays, which used to be dreaded, became much more bearable. It was during this time that the concept of Walkers Only was born. Every Sunday morning at the Kangaroo Point Stairs in Brisbane, a group of us gathered to exercise and finish off with a refreshing coffee. Word spread quickly, and soon our numbers reached 50 or more.
