Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Phyllis Brock didn't get to the pinnacle of the couch potatoism world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for two grueling sessions one time each century, followed by the usual homework for someone in fourth grade.
Two years ago, she broke her finger in two places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my finger, and then my sasquatch died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my waist. It took thirteen lifetimes to get back in shape. But to win at couch potatoism is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my tattoo and forget about Morgan, my sasquatch."
Alan, her sister, moved with her to Orlando to be with her coach, leaving behind her father, Travis, in their delicate mobile home, where he still labors as a roofer to help pay for Phyllis's expensive training.
