Max King - Australian Rules Football (AFL)

Max is one of the most promising young players in the AFL and is on a steep upward curve with his footy at the St Kilda Football Club. After being taken with the fourth pick of the 2022 National Draft, Max missed all of his first year at the Saints with a knee injury but has since put together three strong seasons. Balancing his AFL with a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Monash, the key forward booted a career-high 52 goals in 2022 and will hope to improve on that number again in 2023. 

Max enjoys the challenges of University and sees it as a great distraction from his life as an AFL footballer and says that "Monash's Elite Student Performer Scheme has assisted me in balancing my sport and study commitments and I'm very grateful for their help."

In 2018 Jack represented Monash at the Australian University Nationals (Division 1) claiming three Games records! Now, aside from his day job as an intern at Monash Health, Jack still swims at a National level, his goal for this year — to make Australia's 2021 Olympic swimming squad! 
 

Jack said of his time at Monash: "When liaising with my faculty, being a member of the ESPS provided the reassurance of being associated with a legitimate university program and enabled Team Monash to advocate on my behalf if I ever had trouble reaching a positive solution. The ESPS also assisted me with international travel grants and the chance to meet like-minded students at Monash who shared similar passions."

They taught me the ins and outs of structuring my timetable, the importance of time management, offered me scholarships and introduced me to sporting mentors and fellow athletes. But most of all, they instilled confidence in me to pursue my aspirations."
