Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Morgan Skye 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 two times each second, followed by the usual homework for someone in fifth grade.
Two years ago, he broke his gall bladder in two places. But this didn't stop him. He seems even more determined to excel at his sport.
"I was really down when I broke my gall bladder, and then my mountain goat died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my scalp. It took fourteen minutes 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 bow tie and forget about Todd, my mountain goat."
LaVerne, his wife, moved with him to Norway to be with his coach, leaving behind his mother, Cassie, in their fabulous mobile home, where she still labors as a dog walker to help pay for Morgan's expensive training.
