In The Fast Lane

Harhys Stewart is just 21 years old, and he has spent most of that time playing football. His training sessions are long and tough any moment he is not committing to his national service duties, his focus is on the game. But in football's fast-paced state of mind, we speak to him about the importance of slowing down and what it means to be mentally adaptable.

Schedules for professional athletes are usually hectic and long. What is a typical day like for you and how do you take things slow while you are in the midst of a season? My days are especially hectic nowadays with my national service duties and training every day. I start my day before the sun gets up and after work in camp, I head to my football training. After that, it’s a quick trip home to have some dinner and straight to bed before another early morning! It’s quite difficult to switch off with my schedule but on my off days, I usually chill at home with the family or hang out with my friends and get some food.
