SCA Journey Podcast: Episode #9 – Chris Broadfoot

In Episode #9 of the SCA Journey Podcast, I sat down with Chris Broadfoot, whose path has taken him from growing up in Scotland and playing local football on the Gold Coast, to chasing professional opportunities in North America and the A-League, and now running a global business helping athletes manage their money. Chris joined us from his new base in Wahin, Thailand, where he and his family are embracing a new lifestyle exploring Southeast Asia, immersing themselves in different cultures, and giving his son the chance to play football in multiple countries.

We talked about Chris’s journey to the pro game, which began unusually late at age 29 after a six-month training block which transformed his fitness and mindset. That dedication led to a professional contract with Gold Coast United in the A-League, where he made his debut against Robbie Fowler’s Perth Glory. But just as things were taking off, injury struck, ending his pro career prematurely. Chris shared how those experiences shaped his approach to risk, resilience, and making the most of opportunities in business and life.

Today, Chris runs SportsFX, a currency management company working with athletes worldwide, including Socceroos and Matildas, to help them protect their earnings and transfer funds internationally. We also explored the growing opportunities for players in Southeast Asian leagues, and why our partnership is such a valuable resource for athletes and families navigating the US college system. It’s a conversation packed with insights on football, finance, and the value of saying yes to life’s opportunities.
