Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Josephine James 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 three times each eternity, followed by the usual homework for someone in eleventh grade.
Two years ago, she broke her little toe in three 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 little toe, and then my wombat died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my little toe. It took one 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 set of pink foam curlers and forget about So-Yeng, my wombat."
Arturo, her sister, moved with her to Monaco to be with her coach, leaving behind her mother, Jane, in their colossal spa, where she still labors as a programmer to help pay for Josephine's expensive training.
