Five Minutes With:
Marc Pike

Marc Pike
Regional Coaching Director Townsville Hockey Association

Suburb: Annandale.

AKA: Pikey.

I’m renowned for: Living at hockey, Leg Day, being English (pronouncing most words different to anyone else in North Queensland!), yoghurt / Vitamins and Pasta just to name a few!

Only a local would know: Best Turkish bread sandwiches in Townsville are the ‘No 5’ Chicken, pesto, avocado, sundried tomato and cheese at Spirited Goat, The Precinct, Idalia.

My most memorable holiday was: Christmas at home with my family in 2016. Went around London and saw old friends. Sometimes you never know where you’re going until you remember where you’ve been.

Right now I wish I was: On Rowes Bay golf course in the beautiful North Queensland weather.

My favourite day is: Saturday – hockey game day (or any day that is Leg Day!)

The biggest influence in my life was: My parents and sister. They taught me values of respect, support, love and following your dreams and ambitions no matter the challenge.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me was: Flying back from Brisbane, I was a little tired and managed to fall asleep. When I awoke I was sleeping on a lady’s shoulder who was too polite and nice to push me off. Slightly embarrassing but thanks for letting me have my power nap.

Someone famous I met was: Nathan Burgers, 2012 Olympic Bronze Medallist and Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist, former goalkeeper for the Kookaburras.

My motto is: If you focus on results you’ll never change, if you focus on change, you’ll get results!
