Change & Reflection

Meet Lee, your everyday, early 40's, Aussie bloke. He loves footy, love's keeping fit, and has spent most of the last 12 years coaching AFL football teams.   He has a wife, two young boys, and a zest for life. And just 6 weeks ago, he was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.  In a time when one should be paralysed with uncertainty, Lee has chosen to take on this challenge like he does everything else, quite literally, head on.  This podcast is a snapshot of his journey, from day one. His aim is to use his own coaching skills to tackle the unknowns, share what he learns, offer new perspectives and focus on helping people, as well as himself, to deal with life’s challenges, no matter what’s thrown your way.  So far, Lee has two rules - don't cry in front of him and, please, don't mention The C Word. 

In today’s episode, we have a special guest, Jessica Watzek, joining us to talk about all things movement and exercise when undergoing cancer treatments. Jess is an exercise physiologist and has been training Lee throughout his first six weeks of treatment.

We also speak to Lee about finishing his lifetime worth of radiotherapy and how the big night away went for him and Laura post-treatment.   You can follow Jess on Instagram @jesswatzek.aep For advice on how to exercise safely with your particular diagnosis, treatment or current restrictions make sure you consult your treating physician and clinical exercise professionals for further help.
