Ever wondered how a data geek can turn into a top-notch powerlifting coach? Tune in to this episode of Uplift You, where we unpack the exhilarating experience of the Deep North Powerlifting Competition in Cairns with my longtime friend and coach, Damien Horne. From his athletic childhood to his professional role in data modeling and curriculum management, Damien offers a unique perspective on how analytical skills and adaptive communication styles revolutionize his coaching approach. Discover the meticulous balance between preparation and adaptability that defines success in powerlifting competitions.
Experience the mental game of powerlifting as we discuss the strategies that make or break a competition. Learn how stepping back and maintaining a calm demeanor can enhance performance, and how coaching others can surprisingly diffuse personal pressure. Hear about the strategic adjustments and the pivotal role pre-prepared numbers play in ensuring stability. With a special motivational boost from Elias, the emcee, this episode unveils the intricate interplay of physical readiness and mental fortitude required to excel in powerlifting.
Join us as we journey through personal stories of triumphs and setbacks, from the early days of forming a local powerlifting club in North Queensland to overcoming severe injuries and returning to the sport after years of absence. Supported by a network of friends and fellow lifters, we delve into the themes of resilience, community spirit, and self-belief. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or new to the world of strength sports, this episode is a heartfelt look into the empowering nature of the powerlifting community and the transformative impact of believing in oneself and others.
