Interview with Lethbridge Living

I recently did an interview with Paul from Lethbridge Living, about how youth are actively participating in the community through volunteerism. I didn't realize I am still considered part of the youth category but it's about how I have gotten involved with volunteering through sport. Check it out!

- just getting used to the equipment and finding out a good opener. right now i am 13 weeks out from nationals. the 636 flew up with ease, but unracking/lowering i could just feel it all in my lower back, so called it there. i wanted to go around 650-675 today so i guess thats ok
