BEN HARRISON.
Ben Harrison is a former AFL player, real estate agent, and now a leading Real Estate Performance Coach, dedicated to helping agents unlock their full potential.
Originally from Devonport, Tasmania, Ben was drafted in the 1992 AFL Draft and went on to play 161 AFL games across three clubs; Carlton, Richmond, and theWestern Bulldogs, between 1995 and 2005. His AFL career taught him the power of discipline, resilience, and high-performance habits, but his biggest lessons came after football.
Following his AFL career, Ben spent 10 years as a real estate agent, where he experienced firsthand the challenges of staying consistent, managing energy, and performing under pressure. He soon realised that the skills and mindset from elite sport were just as critical in real estate—but rarely taught. This led him to reflect deeply on his own struggles as an agent and begin applying high-performance principles to the industry.
For the past five years, Ben has worked as a Real Estate Performance Coach, helping agents develop the habits, mindset, and systems used by elite athletes to stay at their peak. This journey led him to co-found Agent Athletes, a business designed to bring high-performance coaching into the real estate world, proving that success isn’t just for the elite -it’s for anyone willing to train like one.
Now, through workshops, coaching, and Agent Athletes programs, Ben helps agents break through limitations, build resilience, and create a winning mindset - just like a professional athlete.
