Who we are

Welcome to the Stephenson Academy of Development, where we believe that success in life, just like in sport, begins with the right mindset, clear goals, and consistent effort. My name is Jaidyn Stephenson, and as a former AFL footballer with 7 years of experience at the highest level, I’ve learned that achieving greatness isn’t just about talent, it’s about developing the right habits, setting powerful goals, and nurturing your mental and physical strength.

After a rewarding career in professional sport, I’m passionate about sharing the lessons I’ve learned on and off the field to help you unlock your full potential.
