Tim is steadily getting ready for USA Youth Weightlifting Nationals. He is hyper focused towards his goals. He wants to win gold so bad that he can taste it. His coach has been amazingly supportive which has been a huge change from the other sport that he was doing. Having such an amazing coach who is super supportive has been huge for Tim. In his other sport he had constant yelling be done at him and to him and that is no way to motivate a kid to do anything. This coach he has now in weightlifting is a godsend. He is the total opposite of what Tim has dealt with all of his life and he's so incredibly happy for that change.
As of right now Tim has reached a 91kg PR in Clean & Jerk which is 200#'s. And he's on the cusp of getting a 95kg C&J lift. He just barely missed it on Tuesday which means he's super close to getting it. He is so proud of reaching the 91kg milestone with his weightlifting. He wants to be able to get to 110/115kg by the time Nationals rolls around mid June. He has done a 71kg PR in his Snatch and he really wants to get that to 75/80kg by the time Youth Nationals rolls around. We are super proud of all he's doing in this sport so far. He really loves what he's doing and that, as most of you know, is half the battle to winning in any sport.
He recently decided to take his hair back to a really short haircut again. He's loving it. It's been a while since it's been this short but I love it. It's one of my faves. He's talking about going even shorter. We always tell him that it's just hair and it will grow back. He has had so many different haircuts that he knows what he wants and what looks good.
Keep Tim in your prayers in the days, weeks and months ahead leading up to Nationals week June 15th-23rd. He will be lifting at some point during that week but we don't know when as of yet because a schedule won't be put out until closer to the date of the Meet.
This verse is a verse that we keep as a constant for Tim and for us as a family:
