A lesson in in mental fortitude & overcoming fear. These “all or nothing” meets where you need an exact number and anything less literally means nothing will always be tough. But the best part is, I’ve now experienced it all. I’ve experienced great days. I’ve experienced shit days. I’ve experienced the very real fear of getting hurt on stage and my first “real” injury. I’ve experienced coming back and overcoming that WAY sooner than we had planned. I’ve experienced being so under prepared, so terrified, and so mentally off and STILL attacking. There is nothing I’m not ready for now. I’m stronger, I’m healthy again and I’m grateful for these lessons. When you want to succeed with all that you have, every ounce of your being, these lessons are vital.

No one talks about fear. Whether it’s fear of failure, fear of injury, fear of judgement, fear of putting yourself in front of all these people at your best AND your worst, or just general fear & anxiety. Elite athletes pretend it doesn’t exist, when it definitely does. Maybe not often, maybe only once every few years, but it’s there. Facing it head on and learning how to work with it and through it, not around it, is the only way to overcome it.

I love that I am STILL learning with each meet & I am so grateful for this particular experience. And I could not be more excited for my future. #HeadDownEyesForward #EarnedNotGiven @roguefitness @2poodperformance @rehband @teamusa @usa_weightlifting -

danielamores4 The more people like you @mattiecakesssss speak about subjects like this (which in many ways encompasses mental health), the more the stigma dissipates. No shame in feeling fear. No shame in having hurtful thoughts. We need tools to know what they are, and how to deal with them. Thank you, Mattie, for sharing!! 🔥❤️🔥
