👉🏼 I came into this meet expecting to have a monster squat. That did not happen. I allowed outside chaos & missing my second attempt for depth to affect my mental strength & forgot how to squat on my third attempt. It should have been in the bank. Watching it back I don’t even recognize myself. I hyper focused on hitting depth, was no longer locked in & absolutely fell apart under the bar. I walked away with an extremely aggravated glute max & a solid amount of posture chain pain.

👉🏼 My nervous system immediately dis-regulated. My brain was not thinking rationally. I felt completely alone on the other side of the country, all while surrounded by a group of incredibly supportive women. It made no sense.

👉🏼 When the unexpected happens we often lose the ability to think rationally. I had to step back & allow myself time to regulate my emotions & ask myself, “What would I tell one of my athletes right now?”

👉🏼 In the end, we’re all just here to show up the best we can for ourselves & others. How we choose to navigate the unexpected will have a powerful impact on how we show up next time.
