The barbell is a catalyst for transformation.

Join me, Leanne Knox, as I recount the early days of my journey with CrossFit and weightlifting, where a simple coaching session with my first coach, Walter in Mackay led to a lifelong quest for growth and resilience. As you tune in, you'll walk alongside me through the highs of teaching high jump to spirited young girls, to the lows of grappling with loss, and the powerful legacy that urges us to push forward.
Key Takeaways:

• The thrills of zero expectations or beginner's naivety when competing
• The profound impact of mentors
• The strength found in both iron and human spirit
• The invaluable lessons that extend far beyond the platform

Weightlifting much like life, has taught me that it's all about seizing opportunities, embracing guidance, and building a foundation that lasts a lifetime. As we prepare to unlock mental strategies for success in future episodes, consider this a primer on the pivotal role of mentoring, community, and the art of asking for help. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, artist, parent, or just someone pursuing self-improvement, let this narrative be your ally in the pursuit of your goals. Here's to lifting more than just weights; let's lift each other up and chart a course toward our most ambitious dreams!
