In 1984 Robin was approached by a young VFL footballer, Mark Jackson, who was seeking help and guidance.  Robin became Mark’s manager and acted in this role for twenty years.  Between them they pioneered the now massive VFL / AFL player manager business.  Among their many successes were the Energizer Battery commercials where Mark’s catch phrase “Oi” became recognised throughout the world.

Robin also managed Australia’s greatest track cyclist Danny Clark and World Boxing Champion – Barry Michael.  Robin has also worked as a motivational adviser for the Australian team at the World Championships.

Robin has assisted many sporting clubs to improve performance including several AFL clubs.  In 1997 Robin was called in by the St. Kilda AFL team after the team had lost eleven games straight.  With Robin’s help the team won fifteen out of the next seventeen games and played off in the Grand Final.
