    #60 Eygló Sturludóttir: "I didn't want to have an excuse"

    Weightlifting rising star, Eygló Fanndal Sturludóttir, is back on the podcast, now as a European Champion! So much has happened since our last chat in Episode #13, and in this episode, we discuss it all. We talk about the disappointment of just missing the Olympics, how she came back to win the European U23 title while taking best lifter of the meet, her 4th place finish at Worlds, and finally, her incredible victory at the European Championships in April. She achieved all of this while juggling the intense demands of medical school. Eygló also shares the story of a major injury that happened only days before the Europeans and why she kept it a secret. We explore the pressure of increased attention, how she navigates the fear of failure, and what it truly takes to perform when everything is on the line. You can't miss this masterclass in mindset from one of the strongest athletes out there.

    #57 What I've Learned Recently (And How It's Changing Things Here)

    In this episode, I’m sharing what I have been up to lately, my biggest takeaway from the sport psychology studies I just finished, and how all of this is going to change things up slightly here in The Athletes Zone. I’ll tell you about the biggest "aha!" moment I had, how we can control where we put our attention instead of just trying to think positive. It's a simple idea, but complicated to put into action and when you do it's a real game-changer. Tune in to hear about this shift in perspective, how it will shape future content and my approach, and I'll also walk you through a quick mindfulness exercise you can try to test this out for yourself.
