1) Tell us a bit about your experience so far as a player at MAN v FAT
I joined MAN v FAT early in 2020. A turbulent first year with Covid saw me lose a lot of weight and gain my 20% award quite quickly, however I then gained a lot while the service wasn’t able to operate. Being 30KG away from your next bonus was off putting but I was able to refocus and have since won my 25% award and progressing well towards my 30% award.
Over the years I’ve captained teams and also taken charge of my club’s 11 aside team,
2) What do you enjoy most about being a part of MAN v FAT and your club in particular?
Quite simply, the lads. Meeting likeminded people with the same struggles as me was really helpful, I’ve met team mates easily enough but the biggest thing for me is that I’ve met friends too.
3) What are you hoping to achieve by being a part of the player committee?
I want to influence player’s quality of life improvements, improving the satisfaction of players whose main ambition with MAN v FAT is to lose weight, as well as for players who have already lost weight and whose main benefit is enjoying the playing time.
