Functional Sports Nutrition – Interview avec moi (“,)

FSN ARTICLE SCREENGRAB PROPER
Well…there I am. So I recently did an interview with the magazine Functional Sports Nutrition (FSN). It was published in this month’s issue…and I’m on the front cover looking…bliiiigh #covergirl #not 😉 But sure look! Have a read there if you can and if you want to subscribe to the mag, it’s genuinely really interesting and informative, dealing with all topics on nutrition for athletes (and everyone else)! The subscription is not expensive (£20/year for 6 issues or £35/two years for 12 issues). Managed to get an aul plug in there for my sponsors Optimum Nutrition and The Punnet Health Store too. :)

Thanks to my lovely UK based friend, Naomi Mills for flagging this with me…as I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise.

Thanks to FSN for including me in their magazine, ’tis a pleasure, and big thanks to weightlifting photographer extraordinaire Ramsey Kechacha from Under The Bar for the cover photo for this piece – legend.

TV3 Ireland AM Interview and Craic

Cringey Pre-Interview Pic at TV3 Studios, Ireland AM

So I was on TV3’s morning show, Ireland AM, last Tuesday morning (29th March) and had the craic with Sinead and Shane. If you missed out on it, and really want to see the fantastic footage, check it out on Ireland AM TV3 Player here for the interview and here for the non cringey weightlifting demonstration (Note: you have to download TV3 Player to your device if you are watching it on your phone) :)

It was a fab experience, apart from the part just before I was interviewed during the news and weather, when I was silently sitting and panicking that I didn’t take my bottle of water over to the couch with me…I was so afraid I’d dry up and be like this… #cottonmouth

However, all was grand, big thanks to TV3’s Ireland AM crew for having me on and hopefully it has helped increase awareness on Olympic Weightlifting, girls that lift and what I do in general!

DEEEELIGHTED to have qualified & been selected to represent Ireland at the 2016 European Weightlifting Championships in Forde, Norway this April! Finally able to announce it and unleash the good feels🍀💚 #demfeels

Last year was my first year at Euros and it was a major goal of mine to qualify again in 2016✅

Huge thanks as always to all of my family, friends, family, clients, colleagues and members of CrossFit 353 for the ongoing support, and of course to my club Prodigy Barbell….and lest we forget, my fabulous sponsors The Punnet, Sara Da Silva and Optimum Nutrition.
