Teammates working that “body balance” 🏄♀️(must be said in French accent)

Athlete life ain’t all glory - while the highs can be amazing, the lows can be just horrible.
📈📉
I was recently a part of a study on how athletes are adapting to the pandemic and the delay of . A couple of their questions that made me reflect were regarding “Optimal Mental Health” - what that meant to me, and whether I thought athletes could have that.
🧐
For me, it is about purpose, community, commitment, and the ability/outlets to rebound from our lows. I believe we can have it and we deserve to have it.
😌
What do you think “Optimal Mental Health” is? And can athletes have that as they push themselves to the top?
Coach has me working on thinking a little less and just ‘doing’ a little more. As you can see it’s a work in progress ... 😅

Finishing up my Max Strength block with a couple PBs feels pretty damn good particularly after months of lifting nothing heavier than a 70lb kettlebell in my parents basement. Looking forward to what’s on the menu next month!!
Kinda cool... the Coaches Association of Ontario chose to highlight the Ontario Fencing Association in their newsletter to acknowledge the sessions we’ve been doing together!!
🤩
I’m thankful for the support and encouragement I’ve received from as well as the chance it’s given me to connect with fencers all over Canada! 🙏🇨🇦

As my teammates always say: Flash forward to your life right now...
🤷♀️
🤯
8 months ago if you’d told me I’d be snowshoeing in October with this group of fencers I’d have said you were crazy. Here we are. Here we all are, living these weird lives, adapting and getting by. I encourage you to take a moment from time to time to “flash forward to your life right now” to reflect on the curve balls you’ve endured, the punches you’ve rolled with, and the adaptations you’ve made. Cheers to you for that 🍻👏

My funny sunburn got me thinking about how exercise & suntanning have some things in common 🧐😂
Ok so bear with me. The comparison isn’t exact but hear me out:
☀️ Say on day 1 you go out in direct sun for hours without sunscreen you’re likely gonna burn, right? You probably can’t do that again the next day without suffering some major consequences
🏋️♀️Believe it or not, it’s kinda the same for exercise. If you go all out on day 1, day 2, day 3 etc... you’re eventually going to run into problems
☀️So, whether we all actually adhere to it or not, we all logically understand how to deal with sun. We wear sunscreen...we gradually increase exposure etc
🏋️♀️Sunscreen is like a good warm up. You prepare your body for what’s to come. Your muscles and joints are better able to accept it
🏋️♀️And call me crazy but isn’t slowly increasing exposure pretty much just gradually increasing intensity or volume... i.e. “Progressive Overload”?
🏋️♀️And what about my weird tan/burn lines? Are they not representative of Specific Adaption to Imposed Demands? I burned where I hadn’t seen sun as much
Ok that’s all I have for silly parallels but leave a comment or DM if you can think of more!

Check out 15yo Elizabeth rocking these goblet squats. We had a bit of problems getting to parallel initially so we added a slight heel elevation and cued her to “spread the floor” and BAM excellent squat 🏋️♀️
Elizabeth is meticulous with her training and super consistent which both makes her a pleasure to work with and shows she has a bright future ahead. Keep it up! 💪🇨🇦🤺
