How Quality Mind Came To Be

Quality Mind has been in the making for 20+ years by Founder & CEO, Richard Maloney. When Richard Maloney turned 18, he achieved what many young men dream about; being recruited to play for his beloved, St Kilda Football Club (AFL). What should have been a dream come true only intensified the chaos in his life at the time. He had a below average work ethic and an even worse attitude. Looking back, it’s no surprise he walked out on his career being completely unable to manage the new levels of pressure at the elite level, and at the same time other turbulent events unfolding in his personal life.

Post AFL, he packed his bags to travel and played football at the state league level for 8 years, and was associated with seven winning premierships during this time. Now 44 years old, Richard has been associated with six elite Australian sports organisations with his last role as the Western Bulldogs Football Club (AFL) as Leadership and Culture Coach. He has also helped 32 local sporting teams win premierships along the way.

Richard has a unique gift and that is the ability to see patterns in people, athletes, business and in sporting teams who are struggling and then quickly turn them around.

And in today’s world the biggest issue facing elite sports is athlete injuries.
