Fit & Fab: Two sports suit Frisbee fan's competitive style

While some find it difficult to be good at one sport, Donna Gee finds it hard to manage her sporting talents. The gifted Australian represents Hong Kong in not one, but two sports, while juggling a full-time career heading the design faculty at a private secondary school.

Gee, 30, plays ultimate frisbee and touch rugby for Hong Kong - two lesser-known but intense sports that are gaining in popularity. She recently returned to Australia for a touch rugby competition, and last year she was in Japan for the Ultimate Frisbee World Championships.

The juggling act isn't deliberate, she says. "Frisbee was never meant to be serious; it was just about having fun."

But her competitive spirit stirred, and she found herself excelling at the sport after picking it up two years ago.

"Once you have that competitive streak, it is very difficult to turn it off," she says.

Balancing training and work requires simplicity: sleep, work, train, eat, and not much else. When training for both sports is in full swing, she's out of bed before 6am, trains for up to three hours a night, and rarely gets to bed before midnight.
