Book Review – Rob's blog https://www.topendsports.com/rob from Topend Sports Wed, 01 May 2024 06:38:44 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.6 39014565 Beyond the Wave https://www.topendsports.com/rob/sport/afl/beyond-the-wave/ Thu, 05 Oct 2006 21:17:12 +0000 http://topendsports.com/rob/2006/10/19/beyond-the-wave/ I have just finished reading a book, “Beyond the Wave” by Trisha Broadbridge. It was one of those books that when you start you just can’t put it down. It wasn’t because it was well written or anything – I was just curious to read a first-hand account of a major disaster. The sporting link made it more interesting.

The book is about the events leading up to and following the Tsunami disaster on Boxing Day 2004, in which Trisha’s husband Troy, and AFL player, was killed. The message I got from this story is that we cannot take anything for granted.

No matter how big and strong you are, the human body is still pretty fragile. We have to make the most of every day. In the words of one sporting company, ‘Just do it!’
