Ep. 35 - Ben Polke: Bear-Wrestling, ADHD and High Expectations
This week I'm joined by Ben Polke. He is a husband and father who, like my previous two guests, is based across the ditch in Australia.
I first met Ben about a decade ago when I was looking for a place to train while holidaying on the Gold Coast, at that time he was running Gold Coast Barbell. We then competed together at several competitions, and I've continued to follow him since.
In this one we chatted about Ben's upbringing, how he got into competing and coaching in the sport of Powerlifting, his adult diagnosis of ADHD and what he's learnt about himself through that journey, and discussed expectations in parenting. Thanks for such an open and honest chat mate!
Enjoy the episode.
