SJ Academy Workshops
Shaun Johnson Academy workshops are built to do more than inspire - they’re designed to equip people with the mindset, resilience, and practical tools to lift themselves and those around them. Whether it’s on the field, in the classroom, or in the workplace, Shaun shares lessons from his journey as a professional athlete and playmaker to help others overcome challenges and set new standards.

Keynote Speaking
Shaun delivers engaging, honest, and impactful talks that go beyond sport. With stories from his career in rugby league, he explores themes like resilience, dealing with setbacks, leadership, and chasing your dreams. Vulnerable yet motivating, Shaun’s keynotes connect with audiences of all ages, leaving them inspired to tackle challenges head-on and keep moving forward.

Schools and Youth
Young people need more than skills, they need role models who’ve been where they are. Shaun connects with students through interactive workshops that are light-hearted yet powerful, showing how discipline, teamwork, and mindset can open doors both in sport and in life. These sessions are about encouraging kids to set standards, believe in themselves, and be playmakers in their own world.

Corporate Events
Sport and business share a common language; leadership, pressure, resilience, and teamwork. Shaun brings a fresh, engaging perspective to corporate events, using his experience on the field to provide insights that empower teams to lift their standards, work together, and adapt to challenges. Whether it’s a keynote or an interactive session, Shaun delivers content that motivates and unites.
