About this listen
Bachar Houli is as accomplished an AFL footballer as they come. He's been part of two Richmond Premiership sides, he was an All-Australian in 2019, and with more than 200 games to his name he remains a key part of a champion team.
Picked at number 42 in the 2006 National Draft by Essendon, Houli played 26 games for the Bombers before moving in 2011 to Tigerland, where rookie Coach Damien Hardwick was assembling the team that six years later would achieve the seemingly impossible and claim Richmond's 11th Premiership. Another flag followed two years later, with Houli close to best on ground in both deciders.
Yet it's as the AFL's most prominent Muslim player that Houli is best known - and his strong Muslim values are at the heart of the man he is. Writing for the first time, Houli explores the experiences and beliefs that sparked his trailblazing success as a Muslim footballer and that established him as a leading voice within the AFL community for inclusion, understanding and tolerance.
Co-authored with acclaimed broadcaster and writer Waleed Aly, Bachar Houli: Faith, Football and Family tells the unique story of one of football's most fascinating men.

Living your best life
If more people lived their lives with the true intention Bachar does, the world would be a better place. I loved to hear details about his beautiful faith and how it drives to who he is and how he conducts himself in every way. The teachings and philosophies of the Muslim faith explained in this book are a beautiful experience and it certainly does a lot of myth busting along the way. A good listen.
