Today’s episode is with the awesome Helena Sly who competed in her first show in 2019 after being a competitive karate athlete (black belt 2nd dan) for twelve years. It was so interesting to hear about how she transitioned from discipline to discipline and the things she learned along the way. What I LOVE about Helena, is how one of the reasons she decided to prep for a show was so she could better understand the dieting process in order to help her become a better coach.We also TOTALLY nerded out together on technique, movement patterns, and stability gains!
