In the age of social media, don’t be a Peter-Poster while your coach hasn’t received coachable videos in weeks. A quick fix to progressing faster is making sure communication is of high quality. This takes effort from both the coach and the athlete and having poor camera angles is the first feedback issue I resolve with new athletes.

I hope this helps some of you guys get better faster and be coachable faster. 🫡

Coaching spots still available, let’s get to work!

Commonwealth Championships 2026 🍁

while i wait for my media package, here’s my extra long and sappy reflection post :)

this competition was the best equipped meet, if not the best powerlifting meet, i have ever had, and i could not be more grateful. after many struggles in prep, including changing my bench shirt two weeks out (huge thank you to @charlenecossar for rush mailing me her backup bench shirt that i proceeded to PR in!) i am so incredibly happy that my hard work and determination paid off, and so thankful to have had the privilege to represent Canada again! 🇨🇦 at this meet, i hit the national qualifying total in my first year as a junior, PR’d on every lift and total, set multiple commonwealth, national, and provincial records, and actually managed to get a third deadlift! 😅

but above all the competition metrics, i had SO much fun at this meet, especially with my team SK and team Canada family 💚🇨🇦 as most people know, i am a very anxious lifter; but at this meet, i truly just had so much fun being on the platform and at the competition as a whole, which was so special for me.

a big thank you as always to my @olympiaindepthperformance team, who always give the most wholehearted support even with me being four hours away and only getting a few training sessions with them 🥹 thank you to every single team Canada coach at this meet; nothing is possible without you guys and your masterful work behind the scenes! as well, big thank you to @rex__pl for dealing with a total of 16 hours of driving with me (including many hours of me belting out musicals to stay awake…) and all my crises throughout this prep. lastly, a huge thank you to my coach @ryan.fowler1 , aka the best gym dad ever, who dealt with so many panic texts and meltdowns this prep, and patiently supported me through it all; without you, i wouldn’t be half the lifter i am today, and i am beyond grateful for your unwavering belief in me.

time to get back to work, and build an even bigger total for nationals 2027. see ya’ll in Nanaimo, onward and upward!

Commonwealth bench recap!!

Had an amazing time competing, meeting new friends and spending a little time side-questing in Winnipeg!

90kg/198.4lbs ✅ (crazy to be opening with my 3rd from worlds 😆)

95kg/209.4lbs ✅ (a little more grindy than expected 😬)

97.5kg/215lbs 🙅‍♀️ (foot started sliding did not happen 😕)

🥈really really wanted to touch above 95 this meet, but still very proud of what we were able to do in ~3 months post worlds.

@srwbandit as always thank you so so much for working around everything going on and for being in the backroom with me meet day 🫶🫶

Shourout to all of the amazing team Canada coaches as well, y’all were awesome 🙌

225 bench coming soon 👀
