Maude Charron Instagram – I’ve been very quiet lately mostly because I was focussed on improving my technique, which, to be honest, made me go crazy.
I’m not very patient when it comes to getting results and changing bad habits takes a lonnnnnng time.
I cried, got angry, was discouraged, lost patient, wanted to kick the bar so hard or punch a hole in the walls. I felt ridiculous by missing “light weights” because I tried something different. I felt stupid when I wasn’t able to do the technical cue my coach wanted me to do even if, in my mind, I was doing it! Sometimes, I felt like a lost case and I hated weightlifting. I hate when I’m not enough. I am disappointed and I feel like I’m disappointing people around me.
The weird thing is, it’s also what I love about sport. It pushes you to your limits, physically and mentally. It forces you to try harder and better. It ridiculizes you. It challenges you until you break. Even tho, you still show up the next day for more because deep down, you enjoy it. You love the challenges.
I thought it was a good idea to share how, even elite athletes aren’t perfect. They have flaws and things to work on. They are human, like everyone, and have bad days too. It’s just easier to hide with social media. | Posted on 16/May/2023 07:58:13
