Pucovski's father Ján, who moved from Serbia to Australia as a child, has Czechoslovakian roots.[5] Ján also played cricket, as a fast bowler, and was regarded as a 'Caulfield legend.'[6]
Pucovski completed school at Brighton Grammar School in 2015, and was captain of the school's First XI and a School Prefect.[7] He was awarded the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year at the Allan Border Medal ceremony by Cricket Australia in 2019.[8]
Cricket career[edit]
In the 2016-17 Under 19 National Championships, Pucovski scored four consecutive hundreds on his way to being named Player of the Championship and totalling 650 runs from eight innings, breaking the long-standing runs record held by Queensland’s Jerry Cassel (568) since 1993-94. [9]
In March 2018, he suffered a second concussion from bouncers in two years, the second of which was bowled by Sean Abbott. Pucovski was well enough to walk off the field unaided.[10] In October 2018, he became only the second player representing Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, after Dean Jones, to hit a double century against the Western Australia cricket team at the WACA.[11] Totalling 243 not out, Pucovski became just the ninth player in Sheffield Shield history to score a double-century before his 21st birthday.[12] However, later the same month, he announced he would be taking a break from cricket due to a mental health-related illness.[13][14]
In January 2019, he was named in Australia's Test squad for the series against Sri Lanka.[15] After being named in the squad for the Test series, Pucovski said that it's every kid's dream to play for their country, and that getting that opportunity was 'just amazing'.[16] However, he was not selected to play in either match during the series, and was released from the squad at the start of the Canberra Test, allowing him to continue to work on his mental health.[17][18]
Ahead of the 2019–20 Marsh One-Day Cup, Pucovski was named as one of the six cricketers to watch during the tournament.[19] In October 2020, in the third round of the 2020–21 Sheffield Shield season, Pucovski and Marcus Harris scored 486 runs for the first wicket in the match against South Australia, setting a new partnership record in the Sheffield Shield.[20] Pucovski finished his innings on 255 not out, his highest score in first-class cricket.[21] The following match, he scored 202 runs in the first innings, becoming the first batsman since Dene Hills in the 1997–98 season to score consecutive double-hundreds in the Sheffield Shield.[22]
In November 2020, Pucovski was named in Australia's Test squad for their series against India.[23] Pucovski suffered another concussion playing for Australia A in December 2020,[24] bringing the total to nine concussions before playing a single game for Australia.[25][26] He made his Test debut for Australia on 7 January 2021, against India, scoring 62 in his maiden Test innings.[27] Pucovski had his baggy green cap presented to him by Andrew McDonald.[28]

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
I have learned that the greatest motivation for living healthfully is found in my Spirit – my connection with God. There is an amazing, often untapped, interconnectedness between our physical and spiritual selves. If we focus on our relationship with God and the spiritual lessons we learn, we can redirect the course of our fitness journeys. In other words, by allowing our spiritual walk to support our physical walk, and by realizing how profoundly our physical growth affects our spiritual growth, we embrace a merging of entities that will lead us closer to living a full abundant life, our best life possible.
I have been a Health Coach for more than thirty years and I have found that without God as the main focus—the point—of my health journey, I would soon reach my plateau and burn out. What’s more, as I engage in the constant challenge of maintaining a healthy body, God’s spiritual truths take on new, stronger meanings and applications in my life. I have gone through many, many trials, and I know that my ability to overcome them stemmed from both a physical and spiritual core. That is whole-person wellness at its best—our spirits and bodies working together to make us healthier, holier, and more able to endure. My experience in this profession is what I offer as help during your coaching sessions. I want to help you get started and on your way to living a healthy abundant life. Are you ready to take that next step and get started on your journey to whole person wellness?

Getting Started:
I have lost over 115 pounds so far this year, going from a size 28 to a size 14 in about 10 months, thanks in large part to the Shaped By Faith group fitness classes. The dietary changes I have also made have definitely helped me shed the pounds quickly, but I credit the strength training, cardio, and Pilates I do in class for drastically changing my body composition, increasing muscle mass, and improving my strength, flexibility, and endurance. I can honestly say I had never really enjoyed Pilates until I began attending Theresa’s classes regularly. I also love the combination of faith and fitness and the prayer and devotion before and during every class.
Theresa is a great instructor and is always prepared with a modification or a progression and encourages everyone to work at their own level. I love feeling like I am free to change things as I need or want to in order to make my workout work better for me. And the variety of exercises and the appropriate pacing of each class ensure that the classes are never boring. You will never do the exact same workout twice. I can’t say enough great things about Shaped By Faith group fitness classes and Theresa Rowe!
A little over 4 years ago I started my weight loss journey. After a year of walking and some jogging, a friend recommended Total Body Challenge at Owensboro Christian Church. After a lot of fear and anxiety I decided to attend a class. I wasn’t prepared for this new experience. I had convinced myself that a class like this just wasn’t for me. I
just expected in this group setting, everyone would be watching the new person. I was expecting everyone to be staring at me, but instead it was the complete opposite. There were so many welcoming faces, it blew my mind! It was so much fun! I was struggling personally with my faith, but each time I went to the Total Body class I felt closer to God. The words Theresa would speak made me feel like I was the only one in the room. She always had a way of saying what I needed to hear at just the right time. It gave me strength to try new things, stepping out of my comfort zone and meeting new people. Without that first step, the leap of FAITH, I truly don’t know if I would be here, 170 lbs lighter, and stronger than I ever have been. I can do all in Christ who strengthens me! My body and heart has truly been shaped by faith.
