Episode 10: Giving Back to the Sport
I don't know about you but powerlifting has taught me more that I could learn on my own.

At some point it is time to give back to the sport that we all love. But how do we do this? Coach Michael DeStefano and Jennifer DeStefano discuss ways to give back to the sport and help to continue to push the ethical growth of the sport in the right direction.
