Seven years ago today I thought to myself “I am going to put myself out there and meet some new friends”. So what did I do? I signed up for powerlifting training with a trainer. A few months later I would enter my first meet. I entered it with little expectations, Little did I know that would be my first gold medal. This medal then burned a fire under my arse and I entered a few more meets with higher expectations. I got 4 more gold medals. However the next meet I entered into I got a silver. Did I continue to enter meets and try to get a redemption gold? No….I quit powerlifting being the 17 year old I was I felt ashamed of second place. Ladies and gentlemen I am here to tell you that you should NOT throw something away because you didn’t live up to your expectations. Training harder, sleep better, and go for that frickin gold! You can do more than you think you can. Even when you feel bad about yourself there is someone out there who is hyping you up. It’s all about looking within yourself and finding that hype man!! Keep grinding and I hope this inspired you!!
