Ben Alexander

I’m a former Wallaby and ACT Brumbies player, co-founder of Running for Resilience, co-owner of The Dock, and dad of three.

After elite sport, I spent years trying to work out how to perform in normal life without burning out.

What I’ve learned is… performance isn’t just about discipline or working harder. It’s about energy. Sleep, stress, connection, purpose, recovery, and the state of your nervous system all shape how you think, feel, and perform.

I write about what actually helps people feel and function better, especially high performers who are good at pushing, but not always great at recovering.

Expect one practical post each week on energy, burnout, resilience, and what it really takes to perform well without running yourself into the ground.
