Your first Olympic weightlifting meet can be intimidating, but with a good coach OR some research on your own, you can prepare yourself to have a great experience with a good performance! I wrote this blog as a reference for our current and future meet participants as well as any lifter or coach out there who is new to weightlifting meets. After reading this blog you should be able to “go with the flow” and have a great time at your next meet! I have linked other resources throughout to get even more thorough information.
How to Stay Motivated in the Gym: Compounding Wins
One of the worst feelings in the world is helplessness. Especially when it comes after a moment in life in which you were highly motivated and enthused to do something; a goal or adventure you have never done before, and were defeated by it.

They all had something in common that we had to tackle first; the feelings of defeat and helplessness.
