Barbell Club: Powerlifting Captain

This year's journey with UCL barbell club and powerlifting has been a transformative experience for me, thus I am eager to step in as next year's powerlifting captain, and to strengthen our club. I believe that lifting is the best representation of the endless pursuit of self-improvement, and discovering powerlifting has brought out my passion in the pursuit of strength, through perseverance, pushing limits, and self-belief. Thus, as powerlifting captain I will strive to create an inclusive and supportive training environment for all, where every member is encouraged and motivated to push their limits, while providing all our athletes the resources they need to thrive within this sport, through training and competition. One of my main aims as powerlifting captain is to foster a close-knit support network within the club, that will inspire our members to become the best versions of themselves, both inside and outside of the gym. Various ways in which I will support members include the co-ordination of weekly group/social training sessions at a powerlifting-specific gym, events such as workshops and seminars that may benefit our members, as well as opportunities to compete. I am also enthusiastic about increasing our outreach as a society within UCL, increasing club engagement through the promotion of powerlifting. 

I look forward to working with you all to create a fruitful year where we can lift and progress together!
