Meet David Guest

It’s time to meet another Sports Fever team member and this time the spotlight is on hockey Olympic medallist David Guest. David has been working at Sports Fever stores on and off for seven years and now manages the Subiaco store.

David says he started playing hockey at a young age. “I started playing in primary school because there was no cricket team,” David says.

David keeps his bronze medal on a shelf at home and says winning at this level was an incredible experience. “The best feeling ever,” he says. “I had always dreamt of being an Olympian so to come home with a medal was great!”

David says the hardest part about playing professional sport is staying injury free.

He says his best advice to other aspiring athletes is to have tunnel vision. “If you want it bad enough you will get there,” he says.

David says what he loves most about his job at Sports Fever is fitting customers with the best shoes for their feet. “I also have an interest in human anatomy and biomechanics so our new gait assessment lab a really useful fitting tool,” he says.
