Intense Preparation for Game Begins on Eurostar
Laura Woods, the lead presenter for TNT Sports' Champions League coverage, has given insight into her preparation process for presenting a game. She revealed that her intense preparation begins on the Eurostar from London to Paris, where she meticulously goes over her notes for the upcoming match.
Steak Dinner and Team Bonding
Once in Paris, Woods joins her fellow presenters for a steak dinner overlooking the iconic Eiffel Tower. She emphasized the importance of these social occasions for team bonding.
The Green Room Experience
When Woods arrives at the stadium, she spends two hours holed up in a makeshift green room by the players' tunnel. Armed with just an iPad, headphones, Haribos, and a Coke Zero, she listens to classical music to help her focus. She described the experience as "insular" and "boring" but necessary to get her head in the game.
A Balanced Life as a Presenter
Woods also discussed how her life has become more balanced since leaving her role as a breakfast show host at TalkSPORT. She now feels more "human" and has time for activities like sleeping, going to the gym, and taking care of her health.
