In this episode, Harry flips the script and interviews me about the English Weightlifting Championships - from pre-comp life chaos and making weight, to attempt selection, platform mindset, and what I’d do differently next time.

If you’ve ever wanted a peek behind the curtain at what it actually looks like to compete at an elite level whilst balancing work and living a normal life...you're in the right place!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode, we're talking:

• What life and training actually looked like leading into competition
• What's going on mentally and physically in the warm up room and on the platform
• An update on how my weight cut went (including what I'll change next time!)
• The mindset strategies I use to stay focused and confident in competition
• A throwback to World's (and why I didn't say much about it at the time!)
• How I won my FIRST National Championships but still felt like I'd fallen short of my goals
• What’s next on the calendar and what I’m working on going forward
• PLUS a quickfire round of hype songs, biggest icks, and more!
