In this EP, I share some harsh feedback from my coach about my attitude and obsession with results. It changed the way I trained and coached – shifting my focus from perfection in weightlifting to embracing the entire process. Over the last eight years, I learned to appreciate every part of the training process. This change not only improved my athletic performance but also my coaching approach. I emphasise the importance of loving the journey, not just the outcome, and adopting systems and mindsets that support quality progress.
