Australia Wombats Dodgeball Team
A Day in the Life of an Elite Athlete
Quite often we are asked what do you need to do to become a world class athlete. The answer is a lot of hard work. Here is a typical day for a Wombat:
4:00am | Wake up, light breakfast |
4:30am | Morning run. Usually 15-20 km, sometimes more, rarely less |
6:00am | 2nd Breakfast. 12 or 13 Weet-Bix. Brett Lee only does 7 – pretty soft…. |
6:30am | Shower, shit and shave – not always in that order |
7:30am | Morning media commitments – the Wombats have got regular spots on radio stations across Australia |
9:00am | Hit the gym for some weights. We usually have a competition for the most bench presses. Tamas has the record of 5 reps @ 160kgs |
10:30am | Brunch |
12:00pm | PR time. This is different every day – maybe a school visit or media appearance |
2:00pm | Lunch – a lot of protein. Lunch always involves a whole dead animal |
4:00pm | Team strategy session. Usually we will go over videos of our games or our opponents and see what we can improve on. On a light day, we might put an action or horror movie on instead |
6:00pm | More media and sponsorship commitments |
7:30pm | Home time. Light dinner and a massive dessert |
