Take Aways From Tim's 1st Nationals...

Take aways from Tim’s 1st Weightlifting Nationals:

•He ate real good leading into the event and felt the strongest he’s ever felt.

•He was well rested.

•The environment was very encouraging and uplifting. He had people he didn’t know in the training hall telling him how good his lifts were.

•People were really nice. I mean everyone. There was no one purposely being down right ugly to anyone.

•People cheer for everyone as they are doing their lifts on the platform because they genuinely wanna see everyone do well.

•The coaches all get along really well. They all are helpful and encouraging to one another.

•The venue was very nice. The Pittsburgh Convention Center is one of the nicest venues we’ve ever been in.

•A bonus for Tim was meeting our Olympians and getting a poster signed by all of them.

All in all it was one of the absolute best Nationals experiences that we’ve ever had!!! Tim has told us multiple times I wish we had made the switch to this sport years ago. He’s found something he really loves to do and we love supporting him in doing it. The pathway for his dreams has changed but his dreams are still the same and he’s going after them full throttle.

Can’t wait to watch our Olympian’s when they perform in Paris. Go Team!!! Here’s a picture of the poster they were signing. I can’t wait to get Tim’s framed.
