How a notebook helped me win an olympic lifting medal

By Sally
Wednesday, August 6th, 2014

And how you can succeed in your lifting using the same technique!

In 2013 I had my best ever result in a national olympic weightlifting competition, winning a bronze medal.

But 6 months earlier I had had my worst ever result in a national competition. I was in a dark place and needed to do something drastic.

It started with a small, cheap notebook…

Mindset in olympic lifting is very powerful.

We are always working on technique and strength in our training. But if the mindset isn’t there – if we are not confident and do not believe in our abilities – we will struggle to lift to our full potential when it matters.

Doing simple things every day can be surprisingly effective. But you won’t feel it until you try for yourself.
