Andrew Russell

After graduating from Federation University, Andrew obtained his first major sporting role as an assistant first coach with the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League. The club won the premiership in 2000, and Andrew was "head-hunted" by rival AFL club, Port Adelaide. He took up the role of Head Fitness Coach with Port Adelaide a year later, and contributed to Port Adelaide winning a Premiership in 2004. Andrew later moved back to Victoria to the Hawthorn Football Club as a High Performance Manager and to this date has been involved in six AFL premierships.
