2022 Commonwealth Games

September 4, 2022News

What a fantastic team that gave it their all !! - 1 Gold 2 Silver 1 Bronze. 🥇🥈🥈🥉
It was great working with Team Manager Ian Moir and Team Coach Jay Saxton
A special thanks to all the personal coaches that prepared their athletes so well and Damon Kelly in the Team Experience Hub and Ebonie Rio the Team physio.
The Commonwealth Games is my favourite event to coach at - its 5 action packed days - where your battling for medals with the finest lifters in the Commonwealth and this event did not disappoint.
From Eileen’s gold, Kyle’s heartbreaking 183, Sarah’s 116 and Charisma’s amazing 139 to Jacksons incredible 211 and many other lifts - I will remember them all
It’s been an honour and a privilege to be able to work with this Team.
Thank you 🙏
