Tim Walsh
Few leaders have the opportunity to find, create and build a team that inspires a generation.
Australian Sevens rugby coach Tim Walsh did exactly that. He took a group of little-known female athletes from diverse backgrounds, all with unique skills and moulded them into an Olympic champion team.
His success leading the acclaimed Australian Women’s Sevens Rugby Team to the inaugural gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games is one of both inspiration and strategic genius. They were the most successful rugby team in Australia for 5 years, with Tim boasting an unprecedented winning percentage of 86% whilst at the helm.
An expert in high-performance and situational leadership, Tim is dedicated to helping Australian business, community and sporting leaders to unlock their potential. Tim, a former Queensland and Australian representative player, is back at the helm of the Australian Women’s Sevens Team after leading the men’s team through the Covid period. Since taking back the reins at the start of 2022, Tim led the team to his third HSBC Sevens World Series title, a Commonwealth Games gold medal and the team was also crowned Rugby Sevens World Cup champions. This treble has not before been achieved, in either the men’s or women’s competition.
Sharni Smale (née Williams) OAM, OLY and Madison Higgins- Ashby OLY
Tim Walsh will be joined by Olympians, Sharni Smale and Madison Higgins-Ashby.
Sharni is one of Australia's most decorated rugby athletes. She is an Olympic Gold medalist (Rio 2016), Commonwealth Games 2018 Silver medalist World Series Champion in 2016, 2018 & 2022, Tokyo 2020 Olympian, RWC 7s 2022 winner, Commonwealth Games 2022 Gold medalist, and RWC Wallaroos 15s x4.
Madison signed to rugby 7s straight after finishing school and is a highly sort after oval ball player, getting headhunted by NRLW and overseas clubs on a regular basis. She is a Tokyo 202 Olympian, RWC 2022 winner, Commonwealth Games 2022 Gold medalist, and World Series Champion 2022.
