Listen Later

Jessica discusses her competitive sporting journey, the process of transitioning between gymnastics, judo and weightlifting, as well as the challenges of being a student athlete - having balancing academic goals alongside her sporting endeavours.

Jess shares her experience at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, the pressure of competing at such a huge, globally documented event… as well as the mental skills required to focus, and regulate her emotions whilst performing under exceptional circumstances.

She then details the pure euphoric moment of achieving her 111kg clean and jerk, which gained her a place on the podium, and the pride she had competing for her country.

Jess finally discusses the mindset, drive and determination required… and the process of having to push past discomfort to reveal true sporting potential, as well as constructing a solid support network to achieve so many impressive accomplishments.
