Levi Colwill, a 22-year-old defender for Chelsea, has discovered a new hobby that helps him relax and focus on his football career: building with Lego. The young player started creating Lego houses after watching a video on TikTok and has found joy in working with the small plastic bricks outside of football.
Finding Solace in Lego
Unlike his teammates, who do not share his enthusiasm for the hobby, Colwill finds solace in building with Lego. This past season was particularly challenging for him as he struggled to adapt to playing left-back instead of centre-back following his return from loan at Brighton.
Colwill’s difficulties were compounded by high expectations surrounding his return to Chelsea. However, under new manager Enzo Maresca’s guidance, the player has significantly improved this season and is now considered crucial to the team.
Managerial Influence and Personal Development
Maresca’s influence has helped Colwill develop his skills and gain confidence on the pitch. As part of this improvement, he believes he needs to work on becoming stronger physically to reach his full potential as a centre-half.
Balancing Hobbies and Football
When asked about how he balances football with his new hobby, Colwill indicated that it does not negatively affect either pursuit; rather, both seem mutually beneficial in helping him cope with pressure and maintain focus during difficult periods.
Colwill stated:
"I’ve always been interested in doing things like puzzles or playing games when I’m not training or playing matches. I think it helps me relax because I can just switch off from everything else."
Importance of Physical Fitness and Well-Being
The defender also mentioned that working out regularly is essential for maintaining physical fitness, but he emphasized that eating well plays an important role in recovery.
In addition to balancing work and hobbies, other factors contribute to maintaining overall well-being, such as:
- Getting enough sleep each night to allow the body to recover from daily activities.
- Engaging in intense exercise sessions during training days at club facilities, where players participate in physically demanding drills designed to improve performance levels over time.
Overall, Levi Colwill appears determined to continue pursuing his career ambitions while finding healthy ways to manage the stress-related pressures associated with being a professional athlete competing at the highest level of sport today.
