Born on February 6, 1952, in Subiaco, Western Australia, he initially pursued medicine alongside his sporting endeavors. As a hockey player, he represented Australia in five Olympic Games (1972, 1976, 1980-boycotted, 1984, 1988), winning a silver medal in 1976 and captaining the Kookaburras.

Transitioning to politics, he served as a federal Member of Parliament for the Australian Labor Party, representing the seat of Perth from 1983 to 1993. His coaching career is legendary; he led the Australian women's hockey team (Hockeyroos) to two Olympic gold medals (1996, 2000), two World Cup victories (1994, 1998), and four Champions Trophy wins. He later coached the Australian men's team (Kookaburras), guiding them to World Cup wins in 2010 and 2014, an Olympic bronze in 2012, and multiple Champions Trophy titles. Known for his innovative, meticulous, and often demanding coaching style, Charlesworth has profoundly influenced Australian sport and leadership.
