OHS PR

Our original plan for today was to take some throws, then get a nice lifting session in.  Unfortunately, the weather turned for the worse, so we spent more time in the weightroom.  After Taylor was warmed up with the Snatch, we started getting a little more cautious with the weight selection of her working sets.  Taylor worked up to to 130#.  Her demeanor changed after hitting the lift.  Unfortunately, we had a couple of missed lifts in a row.  Our conversation went a little bit like this:
Taylor:  I'm afraid to have a lot of weight overhead
Me:  You are strong enough to easily lift this weight
Taylor:  I don't feel comfortable
Me:  Ok, let's try some overhead squats out of the cage to get you feeling more comfortable with the heavy weights
Taylor:  Sure, let's try it
Me:  (25 minutes later)  You just OHS 225lbs. with ease!
Taylor:  Thanks coach.

Sometimes athletes need a bit of a paradigm shift to help them reach their goals.

Thanks for reading!
