The podcast is with Laura Shea, professional power-lifter, who, among her many achievements, represented the UK in the Commonwealth competition, in which she came 4th. Laura also won gold at the All England competition last year.

In this fascinating podcast Laura talks about: her physical training how she prepares mentally for a competition the power of visulization and meditation how she recovers from set backs how she keeps her mind set strong the impact power lifting has had on her life.
