Kieran Govers’ full-time job requires him to spend long hours under the ground. He is a shift superintendent with a coal-mining company in New South Wales.
Above the ground, though, Govers knows a thing or two about mining gold.
Govers made 126 appearances for the Australia men’s hockey team. He won two World Cups — in 2010 and 2014 — and a Commonwealth Games gold in 2014. There was also a bronze at the 2012 London Olympics.
