## Resource

This week I was joined by Elliot Sykes, we discussed A LOT, starting with IPF Worlds and some of Elliot's favourite moments as a fan, but then talking through how he would have to be the number one lifter in the world just to qualify for the world championships, we spoke through his ability to compartmentalise and continue working towards these huge goals, and his growth as a person as he's grown up in this sport. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
