The group dives deep into:💥 What aggression really means in sport 💥 The fine line between too little and too much arousal 💥 Differentiating anger, rage, and functional aggression 💥 Emotional intelligence and learning how to channel your feelings productively 💥 Practical ways to regulate your arousal before a lift—like breathing, music, and visualization 💥 The stigma around women expressing anger, and how lifting becomes a space to reclaim that powerFrom Celine Dion-induced euphoria to aggressive hype up screams, every coach shares their unique approach to psyching up—and calming down—for performance. They also touch on cultural pressures, gender expectations, and how lifting has helped both themselves and their clients develop confidence, agency, and self-belief beyond the barbell.🔥 Whether you're new to powerlifting or competing on the platform, this episode will leave you inspired to lift—and live—with more intent.Get coaching today:www.alphaathletes.com.au391 Liverpool Rd, Ashfield NSW 2131@alphaathletes_Chris Aslan @sydneystrengthcoachErika Koo @stretchwitheMichael Sechos @coachmichaelsechosTatsuya Pun @strengthsenpai
