Episode 28

Wow, I can’t believe the Commonwealth Games are over. I’m still buzzing from the excitement seeing all our Aussie athletes kill it on the platform. Especially our 3 medalist Tia, Kaitlyn and Francois! On today’s episode of the podcast I sit down with your under 90kg Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist Kaitlyn Fassina.

This Podcast was recorded a few weeks prior to Kaity going to the games and it documents her prep leading up to the comm games. Before I go into things I want to give her a big congratulations on her performance!

We dive into all things from Kaity’s past including her roots in swimming, which she had to give up due to Glandular Fever, having a baby and the toll that took on her training. We talk about habits and superstitions that lifters pick up over time, and how to train during and post pregnancy.

She even tells me a crazy story about the time she almost got mobbed in Kazakhstan for turning down a random proposal!

Thanks Kaity for joining me this week!
